Livelihood in India

is intricately tied to the socio-economic fabric of communities, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Approximately 70% of rural households rely primarily on agriculture for their sustenance. However, it's important to recognize that 82% of farmers fall into the small and marginal category, facing challenges such as timely access to resources and unpredictable weather conditions. The lack of reliable income options significantly impacts community well-being, contributing to poverty and distress migration.

ECHO India collaborates with its partners to identify best practices and models in agriculture, animal husbandry, water governance, and forest management. We utilize the ECHO model to disseminate knowledge and build capacities among frontline professionals and farmers, empowering them to address the complex challenges in the livelihood sector.

Through these efforts, our goal is to enhance food security, promote sustainable utilization of natural resources, secure farm-based livelihoods, and strengthen resilience towards climate change.
