Between March and April 2026, I launched a podcast featuring conversations with agricultural scientists, sustainability practitioners, and grassroots organizers working on water-efficient farming. The episodes explored practical irrigation innovations, climate-resilient agriculture, and policy-level gaps, offering farmers and students contextual insights into sustainable agricultural practices. I also presented case studies on how similar terrains the Global South have addressed this problem.
The podcast is exclusively available on Spotify India as well, here: https://open.spotify.com/show/5awnO1vusiZefxsd1NG8Pk
In August 2026, I organised an online expert-led demonstration workshop in collaboration with agricultural practitioners such as Dr. M. M. Deshmukh, Head, Department of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra, and Dr. Bhagwan Asewar, Director of Research, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani, Maharashtra.
During this session, 15-18 farmers, from within Hamari Pahchan's network, were introduced to low-cost water conservation techniques including bottle-drip irrigation and mulching.
I served as the session moderator, introducing the experts, facilitating the discussion through structured questions, and guiding the farmer Q&A on practical implementation, costs, materials, and crop suitability.
