The Nepal Energy Garden project addresses the programme aim of engagement of a range of disciplinary perspectives including new links across disciplines that do not usually work together and across non-traditional partnerships by integrating research on the institutional economics of energy and technology transfer with the knowledge of botanists and engineers.
The objective of the research is to provide a new approach to the practice of energy management in small-scale farms.
