Watershed Management, Environment, and Sustainable Agriculture

Watershed Management, Environment, and Sustainable Agriculture

Samarthan recognizes the interconnectedness of water, forests, and agriculture in impacting rural life and livelihoods. Proactive measures to address the effects of climate change are essential to reduce distress migration, indebtedness, and food insecurity among small and marginal farmers. Collaborative efforts with local institutions aim to revive, refine, and replicate various indigenous practices of water conservation, sustainable agriculture, and forestry, blending with scientific knowledge for enhancing income and rural prosperity in the rural areas.
