Kathmandu Rooftop Farming Programme (KMC / ENPHO / RUAF)
NPKathmandu, Nepal
A citizen-focused rooftop farming program led by ENPHO and Kathmandu Metropolitan City (with RUAF and UN-Habitat technical support), launched in 2013. Households are trained to grow vegetables on their roofs using vermicompost, waste segregation, nursery management and rainwater harvesting, framed as a climate-adaptation and urban food-security strategy. Its demonstration gardens and training manual helped spread rooftop farming across the Kathmandu Valley.
