Naandi Foundation
This project will build resilient farming communities in the remote Araku valley of Andhra Pradesh. More than 3,000 farmers will be trained in sustainable organic regenerative practices to earn better income by cultivating coffee and pepper. Additionally, tribal communities will benefit from better soil health, improved quality of yield, and increased farming skills.
Prarambha
This project will implement Non-Pesticide Management (NPM) techniques to improve land and water productivity in Raichur district of Karnataka. This initiative will transition over 1500 acres of farmland through better farming and irrigation techniques. It will increase water efficiency, augment organic farming techniques and improve farmer income.
S M Sehgal Foundation
This project will increase water availability through the replenishment of water tanks in Kolar district, Karnataka. The water structures will enhance surface storage to increase the groundwater table to improve water availability. The quality silt excavated from the water tanks will help farmers to enrich soil, and increase their annual income.
Seven Sisters Development Assistance
This project will build community resilience against climate change in Karbi Anglong and Morigaon districts of Assam. This initiative will restore degraded forestry commonland and farmland. It will also train women farmers in community-based regenerative agriculture models and set up water harvesting structures for improved water management.
Sustainable Environment and Ecological Development Society
This project using Nature Based Solutions (NBS) will restore the fragile ecological conditions in mangroves of the Sundarbans in West Bengal. This initiative will train communities in disaster response, enhance community’s resilience to climate change, improve their livelihoods, and foster long-term environmental sustainability.
Udyogini
This project will restore fallow land and train villagers, especially women, in sustainable harvesting, cultivation, and the monitoring of endangered Medicinal and Aromatic Plant (MAP) species. This will provide livelihoods and reduce pressure on the current ecologically fragile system caused by the unsustainable harvesting of MAPs.
