Evidence Forged in the Field

There is a persistent gap in rural climate work between the research that shapes policy and the implementation that happens in villages. B2V exists to close it, which is why we do both. Our field programmes generate real-world evidence, while our research helps improve implementation, inform policy, and enable others to replicate what works. Every intervention is an opportunity to learn, and every insight is used to improve outcomes for communities.

B2V combines long-term field implementation with rigorous research. We co-create models with communities, validate them across multiple locations, and continuously refine them using evidence. We build this work with others as much as with communities, partnering with government departments, fellow NGOs, research institutions and funders so that a model proven in one district can travel to the next. Our work spans climate resilience, regenerative agriculture, rural livelihoods, water security, entrepreneurship, and community institutions, allowing us to address interconnected challenges rather than isolated problems.

Communities are collaborators, not subjects. They help identify problems, shape solutions, test interventions, and provide continuous feedback throughout implementation. We work the same way with our partners, collaborating with local NGOs, community institutions, government line departments and research bodies at every stage. This participatory approach keeps our research practical, locally relevant, and grounded in lived experience.

Yes, where there is strategic alignment, strong local partnerships, and community readiness. We believe expansion should be intentional rather than opportunistic, ensuring that new programmes maintain the same quality, relevance, and long-term commitment as our existing work.
