The Land That Feeds A Civilisation

The Terai belt — a narrow arc of fertile lowlands nestled between the Himalayan foothills and the Gangetic plain — has been the breadbasket of northern India and Nepal for thousands of years.

The Terai belt is a strip of flat, fertile land at the foothills of the Himalayas, home to rich biodiversity and ancient agricultural traditions. This land has sustained civilisations for millennia and continues to hold living knowledge in its seeds, soils, and communities.
