Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted global economies, with significant implications for agriculture-dependent nations like Nepal. Agriculture, being the backbone of Nepal's economy, contributes approximately 27% to the GDP and employs over 60% of the population. However, the pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in the sector, including supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and limited access to markets. This study explores the role of agriculture and agri-tech investments in mitigating the pandemic's impact on Nepal's agricultural sector. By analyzing the adoption of agri-tech solutions such as digital platforms, precision farming, and supply chain innovations, this research highlights how technology can enhance resilience and sustainability in agriculture. The findings suggest that agri-tech investments can improve productivity, reduce post-harvest losses, and ensure food security during crises. This study provides policy recommendations for fostering agri-tech adoption and strengthening Nepal's agricultural sector in the face of future pandemics.

Abstract

Global markets have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic, which has increased economic uncertainty and changed sectoral performance. This study looks at the sectors that fared well throughout the crisis and investigates the wider economic effects of uncertainty brought on by the epidemic. We evaluate the degree of economic uncertainty and its macroeconomic impacts using real-time indicators, such as stock market volatility, news-based uncertainty metrics, and company expectation surveys. According to our research, the pandemic's uncertainty shock is similar to past crises like the Great Depression and the financial crisis of 2008. Additionally, we project a significant drop in the US real GDP, with increased uncertainty accounting for about half of the reduction. These findings highlight the value of forward-looking analyses in assessing economic resilience and offer insightful information for maximising sectoral investment plans in times of international emergency.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed flaws in the world's food systems, highlighting how urgent sustainability and resilience are. In the post-pandemic period, this study looks at how digitalisation and sustainable farming methods might improve food systems. It examines data and case studies with a focus on Nepal to evaluate how eco-friendly farming practices and digital tools affect food security, supply chain effectiveness, and agricultural output. Incorporating digital technologies like smart supply chain management, mobile-based market access, and precision farming can improve agricultural results, according to the study. These developments optimise resource utilisation, lower post-harvest losses, and assist farmers in making well-informed decisions. Sustainable agricultural methods, such as climate-smart approaches and organic farming, also help to preserve the environment while guaranteeing the stability of food production over the long run. Results show that digitalisation greatly improves the resilience of food systems, especially in developing countries like Nepal, when paired with sustainable practices. However, for widespread use, issues like inadequate internet infrastructure, gaps in regulation, and farmer education must be resolved. The study ends with legislative recommendations to speed up the digital transformation of agriculture, such as funding for digital infrastructure, training initiatives for farmers, and laws that encourage sustainable practices. In the post-COVID-19 era, governments and stakeholders can create resilient food systems that can resist future upheavals, guarantee food security, and stimulate agricultural growth by boosting digital innovation and sustainability.
