Livelihoods and Resilient Agriculture
Building the resilience of farmers, especially smallholder farmers, against climate change, and protecting the livelihoods of India's most vulnerable communities.
Key Focus Areas
The working group came together with a shared vision of building agricultural resilience and identified 11 pillars to enable action through policy advisory, philanthropic engagement, citizen action and narrative building and amplification. As part of the 2023 convening, the group defined various avenues around transition to sustainable agricultural practices, building economic and ecological resilience, focusing on inclusive growth and access to resources, focusing on food-secure landscapes. Some of the group's achievements for the year include:
-
Collective creation of Foundational Principles and Values: With the support of partner organisations the Alliance created a list of foundational principles and values to guide and help achieve the goal of resilient agriculture.
-
Development of a Comprehensive Indicator Framework for Resilient Agriculture: Along with PRADAN and Bharat Agroecology Fund, the Alliance designed a comprehensive Indicator Framework for Resilient Agriculture by synthesizing and simplifying existing knowledge.
