Climate-Smart Farming. Stronger Livelihoods.

Climate Resilience: Agriculture & Environment

ATSWA Trust is driving climate resilience at the grassroots by transforming how rural women farmers farm, earn, and sustain their livelihoods. Our work strengthens both agricultural productivity and environmental health, ensuring that communities are not just surviving climate change—but actively adapting and thriving.

We partner with small women farmers across Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, equipping them with climate-smart, sustainable farming practices that improve soil health, reduce chemical dependency, and build long-term ecological balance. Every training, every field demonstration, and every collective decision contributes to a future where farming is profitable, sustainable, and resilient.

Our Approach

We work with small women farmers to adopt organic and natural farming methods that improve soil health, reduce chemical dependency, and strengthen climate-resilient crop cycles. Through trainings, field demonstrations, and peer learning, communities build long-term ecological balance while increasing farm profitability.

This is not just training — it’s a rural transformation model that strengthens livelihoods while healing the environment.
