Supporting sustainable
agriculture in the Western Ghats

OVERVIEW OF REGIONAL CHALLENGES
We’re supporting several initiatives across five villages located in the Khandala block of Satara district in the Western Ghats. These regions experience huge variances in rainfall which is commonly followed by drought, leading to crop failure, groundwater depletion, and low agricultural yields.

IMPACT AND SOLUTIONS
Without support, farmers and their families in these areas are at risk of losing their traditional livelihoods and falling into a devastating cycle of poverty. But with a little help, they can diversify their income and learn new practices to support their families.
