This portfolio focuses on conducting interdisciplinary research that integrates perspectives from both formal research institutions and community-based knowledge systems. Through this portfolio we aim to take into account context, nuance and relevance and relatable document and compile evidence from grassroots practices, creating an open-source data repository to support sustainable rainfed agriculture. In order to achieve this, it seeks to promote alternative research initiatives, supporting a wide range of institutions  engaged in alternative methods of studies that address critical knowledge gaps.
