ABOUT US

Building Ecosystems for Inclusive Livelihoods

We are an independent platform that curates dialogue, evidence and partnerships on agricultural renewal, livelihoods, and climate resilience in Maharashtra.

Our Mission

To strengthen the agricultural ecosystem in Maharashtra by connecting farmers, markets and policy; amplifying voices from rural communities; and co-creating solutions for climate-resilient, sustainable farming.

Our Vision

A future where every farming household in Maharashtra has access to diversified, resilient livelihoods; where agricultural institutions are responsive; and where climate risk does not push rural families back into poverty.
