TOR for Training & Capacity Building – in Karnataka & Maharashtra Region

The primary goal of the project is to promote regenerative and climate-smart agricultural practices among small and marginal farmers in Karnataka and Maharashtra through targeted awareness and capacity-building initiatives. The project aims to encourage the adoption of sustainable techniques that restore soil fertility, enhance biodiversity, improve water-use efficiency, and strengthen resilience to climate variability, thereby ensuring sustainable crop productivity and reducing dependence on chemical inputs. In addition, the initiative seeks to create awareness among bankers on key climate-resilient agricultural solutions, post-harvest technologies, viable business models, and opportunities for accessing credit and scheme convergence to support these interventions.
