The Government of Nepal (GoN) has put forward a new Agriculture Development Strategy (ADS). Strategy-makers are claiming that this will shape the country's future for the next two decades and make Nepal at least a middle income country by 2035. This article focuses on the possible impact of the ADS on small-scale farmers and women. It analyses its impact on the agrarian structure, budget allocations, and insurance and support for technical inputs. It also considers the tendencies towards monoculture that ADS entails and the overall consequences for food security and development. The ADS represents an escalation of a neoliberal policy, which has been advancing since the 1990s and is at odds with the popular struggles that established a new democratic system
