Shakti

Building Resilient Livelihoods through Agri-Food Innovations

Shakti symbolizes strength and transformation, showcasing how rural and tribal communities—especially women—are empowered through innovative agricultural and social solutions.

Through transdisciplinary research, we link traditional knowledge with modern technologies, boosting climate resilience and market opportunities for smallholder farmers. ICT tools, peer-to-peer networks, and local institution building help farmers make informed decisions, diversify incomes, and strengthen collective power.

Shakti promotes gender equality, improves food security, and builds adaptive capacity to climate shocks and market risks. Our focus on digital empowerment ensures that even the most vulnerable farmers can lead sustainable, prosperous lives.

Together, we are transforming vulnerable farming systems into hubs of resilience, innovation, and empowerment.
