Vertiver worked closely with the Department of Science and Technology under India’s Ministry of Science and Technology to develop a design and dissemination platform for FarmerZone, a cloud-based service for smallholder farmers. FarmerZone was announced at an international consultation for which Vertiver served as the event partner:
Working closely with the scientists at DBT, Vertiver translated the vision of FarmerZone into a concept note for national and international experts in smart agriculture. We developed the strategic narrative for FarmerZone, researching and copywriting to render the complexity of the overlap between technology and agriculture, into a clearly articulated, comprehensible background paper. In partnership with Iora Ecological Solutions , we helped DBT design and define the Agenda for the international consultation at which FarmerZone was presented, ensuring the participation of strategic stakeholders in Smart Agriculture from around the world, using design looks to creat a differented identity for farmerzone. we developed advertisements in Hindi and English to create awareness of the initiative to a broader national audience. Finally, as Event Partners to DBT, we organized all aspects of the FarmerZone event held at the Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra on August 29th to the 31st. Smart Agriculture is a topic our sustainability hearts beat for. We are so happy to have helped DBT create a successful launch of the FarmerZone for their audience, and are continuing to work with them to shape the concept further.

Vertiver’s motto “be a trimtab,” (from Bucky Fuller) is a call for change agents to play a minute yet transformational role in fixing the socio-environmental problems of the day. We develop strategies aligned with sustainability to identify places for interventions within complex systems that can bring about holistic changes. Our approach is interactive and iterative, easing stakeholder engagement and imbibing multiple voices into the final strategic plan. We develop strategies aligned with sustainability to identify places for interventions within complex systems that can bring about holistic changes.
Brands are symbols. In order to create powerful symbols, we need to know both visual and psychological dimensions of how people remember and interact with brands. For us, good brands are those that inspire to change society. We help develop strategy for brands to help them tell authentic stories. Vertiver’s brand strategy work includes brand identity design, brand development and brand messaging.
We help build road maps and strategy to move organizations towards a more holistic model of positive change. While the Planet vs Profits debate is often at odds, it is sometimes possible to weave the two together to create powerful change. To build a business and organizational strategy for sustainability, matching resources to intended outcomes is critical. We have helped develop various strategies that are implementable, measurable and connect to long term impact in the domain of smart agriculture, forestry and climate action.
As pressures on community-based organizations increase and the issues faced by our environment, the idea of cross-organization partnerships can hold much promise. We help build partnerships that contribute and also reap the benefits of others’ efforts. Our experience in working with Public-Private Partnerships enable us to bring a very comprehensive engagement platform to our partners. We help accelerate learning and distribute skills and knowledge while adding depth and breadth to sustainable impacts.
Content is at the core for a wide array of communicating and engaging. Creating compelling content helps create stories that influence change. In the context of our work on sustainability, content becomes very nuanced as it has to appeal to multi-lingual multi-sectoral stakeholders. Our exptertise in creatingcontent and also making it multi-lingual helps us engage communities across India to widen our outreach and impact.
Sustainable Development Goals provide a measurable framework for designing and measuring interventions that positively influence society, economy and the environment. Our work at Vertiver is solely focused on various aspects of sustainability. Either directly or indirectly all our projects contribute to the achievement of one or more of the SDGs. We work with organizations to map their impact across different SDGs and create roadmaps that can help achieve those goals.
