Lal Carbon Center Alumnus Bharat Shrestha (2005) invited Dr. Lal to meet with the members of NAPA and present a keynote lecture on “Sustainable Soil Management and Agriculture as a Part of the Solution to Adaptation and Mitigation of Climate Change” online. Dr. Shrestha shared that “the lecture was followed by a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Rajan Ghimire with two panelists namely Dr. Roshan Bajracharya, and Dr. Gyami Shrestha. Dr. Bajracharya did his PhD with Dr. Lal in the 1990s. Dr. Lal’s lecture provided a novel pathway to mitigate climate change through agriculture and improving soil health in the global context. The panel discussion was focused on the challenges and possible ways to implement such pathways in the context of mountain agro-ecosystems such as in Nepal.” The link to the program is https://napaamericas.org/webinar.
