About this listen

 This episode looks at the fast-moving climate workforce revolution and what it means for agriculture. Subramani Ra Mancombu speaks with Amit Banka, founder and chief executive of WeNaturalists, about how climate action has shifted from boardrooms to community-led movements across the world. Banka explains why the past decade has seen rapid awareness and participation, especially among young people, and why meaningful progress depends on empowering communities at the grassroots rather than relying on policy alone.The conversation explores how climate initiatives are playing out on farms in India and abroad. While regions with large land holdings have adopted precision and regenerative farming at scale, India faces the complexity of small and fragmented farms. Banka highlights why access to weather intelligence and on-the-ground support can make a direct difference to crop patterns and farmers’ income. The discussion centres around common perceptions about climate leadership. From mangrove conservation groups in India to climate tech innovators in Kenya, action is emerging far beyond traditional institutions — provided resources reach the right hands. Listen in!
