Dear Ambassadors and Members,

Tunza Eco Network Nepal is collaborating with Agriculture Students Liaison Forum (ASLF) to come up with OPEN BLOG CONTEST on occasion of International Youth Day 2016 themed " Eradication of Poverty by Sustainable production and consumption".

Achieving economic growth and sustainable development requires that we urgently reduce our ecological footprint by changing the way we produce and consume goods and resources. Agriculture is the biggest user of water worldwide, and irrigation now claims close to 70 percent of all freshwater appropriated for human use.

Responsible production and consumption is one of 17 Global Goals that make up the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. An integrated approach is crucial for progress across the multiple goals.
