Abstract/Description

The success of a landscape rejuvenation project led by ICRISAT with support from NEXUS Gains in Poora Birdha village, India, is a shining example of how integrated approaches create sustainable, climate-resilient solutions. By implementing integrated water and natural resource management practices, local farmers have been able to rejuvenate their agricultural lands, reverse migration, and improve their livelihoods.
