THE CHALLENGE

Climate solutions for rural India fail when they stay on paper, or stay in one village.

Four Pillars of Climate-Resilient Farming.

Rural India's climate work runs on two tracks that rarely meet. Research produces evidence that is seldom tested against the conditions communities actually face, while implementation moves at the speed funding demands, often before there is proof that a model will hold up or travel beyond where it started.

B2V closes that gap. We validate every model in the field with communities before it scales, and we generate the evidence policymakers and partners need to trust it, and to replicate it.

"We do not ask partners to fund an idea. We ask them to fund a model that has already been tested with the communities it is meant to serve."

What does "Think and Do Tank" mean?
icon

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.

What makes B2V's approach different?`
icon

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.

How do communities participate in the process?
icon

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.

Can B2V work outside its current operational states?
icon

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.
