Description/notes
We are a not-for-profit organization that focuses on sustainable development through on-ground initiatives. We believe in a people-centred approach that encourages participation, awareness and empowerment of the community in all of our activities. Established in 1975, GEAG has been addressing issues of sustainable agriculture and livelihoods, rights and interests of small and marginal women farmers, community health, training and capacity building. Given the realities of climate change and its adverse impacts on the poor, vulnerable and marginalised sections of society, we now actively work towards climate change adaptation and community resilience.
