Agriculture and Livelihoods

PANI envisions agriculture as a pathway to both ecological balance and rural dignity. In areas burdened by water scarcity and low farm returns, PANI supports smallholder farmers to adopt water-efficient, sustainable practices that restore soil health and reduce input costs. Through locally trained community resource persons and farmer support centres, farmers access knowledge, tools and linkages to schemes and markets that strengthen their livelihoods. This model blends traditional wisdom with adaptive innovations, empowering communities to cultivate resilience in the face of climate and economic challenges. At its core, PANI’s approach is about regeneration – of land, of livelihoods and of the self-sufficiency that sustains rural life.
