A Better Tomorrow
Stories, Practices, and Solutions
The springs in Akole, Maharashtra, are more than just utility points for humans; they are the ecological heartbeat of the region
Most conversations on agriculture focus on climate change, erratic rainfall, and the impact these have on crops. But we often overlook the very base of farming — the soil.
Change is taking root in Shahapur, Thane, with sustainable water management solutions
Drawing from work with smallholder farmers—from Kumbharwadi in Maharashtra to Madaul in Odisha—WOTR has contributed key experiences, insights, and evidence to the Stories of Resilience 2025, a publication launched by the Global Centre on Adaptation (GCA) at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Belém, Brazil.
How can smallholders farm fish while safeguarding their local ecosystems? One promising answer lies in farm ponds.
Read how a school, and ultimately an entire village in Maharashtra, was transformed with clean toilets
Small, locally managed ponds are quietly transforming how rural communities store rainwater, recharge groundwater, and sustain agriculture in India
At this year’s IUCN World Conservation Congress in Abu Dhabi, a new global report was released that carries an important message for our planet: to restore the land, we must first reconnect it.
It’s unusual that science, soil, and stories come together in a single space but something quietly transformative happened during W-CReS’s recent CDVI workshop in Odisha
