    Concretization, the conversion of cultivable land into housing space, is an emerging issue in Nepal that threatens food security. The country has seen a rise in agricultural imports and a decline in arable land due to concretization. This is driven by easy money from remittances and a lack of investment opportunities, which has changed people's psychology and reduced food production. Solutions include establishing political stability, improving financial literacy, enacting strong land use policies, and incentivizing agricultural production to reverse these concerning trends.
