- Abstract
The article investigates the influence of temporary international labor migration on rural dynamics in Nepal, revealing that households with migrants are 50% more likely to leave agricultural land fallow. Topics include the promotion of agricultural intensification technologies and livelihood diversification, with potential implications for increased food insecurity stemming from land fallowing, despite possible improvements through agricultural intensification.
