The CGIAR Nature-Positive Solutions had several successes in India. Most of the Initiative’s key activities happened in tribal areas in Maharashtra State. As with much of NATURE+’s work –
particularly on neglected and underutilized species, or NUS – traditional knowledge was key to the Initiative’s activities on crops, trees and nature-positive agriculture in India. The Initiative’s highlights included launching a national hub for circular bioeconomy, supporting traditional seed banks, and integrated watershed management systems. This report covers NATURE+ activities in India, which set the stage for continuity in the CGIAR Research Portfolio 2025-2030.
