🔸 Only a small share of the current literature evaluates equity, gender impacts, or long-term sustainability of AI in agriculture
🔸 AI in agriculture needs context-specific data systems, farmer co-design & strong governance to avoid unintended risks to food security

Did you know?

🔸AI for climate forecasting, crop analytics & supply-chain optimisation is growing fast, but adoption is uneven
🔸 Most innovations are being developed without local data
🔸 Digital infrastructure gaps from connectivity to device access remain the biggest barriers.

Through a mixed-methods study across six states, we spoke with women, community influencers, and frontline actors to map what data alone cannot reveal. These insights are now guiding Oxfam’s behaviour-change communication strategy, ensuring messages are grounded in reality, not assumptions.
November 25, 2025 at 6:27 AM
In partnership with Oxfam India, Athena set out to trace these invisible threads. Our formative research looked beyond incidents to examine the social beliefs that justify violence, the power dynamics that reinforce silence & the community expectations that influence whether survivors ever seek help
November 25, 2025 at 6:27 AM
Violence doesn’t begin with an act…it begins with a norm.
And in urban India, many of these norms are so deeply embedded that they shape behaviour long before they surface as violence.

Data shows patterns, but more importantly, it shows possibilities.
From urban services to climate resilience, we use data to help governments and partners diagnose problems, design solutions, and build tools that help them to act with clarity and confidence.

The findings are now shaping planning, investment, coordination, and national discussions on formalising #CWIS, an essential step toward cities where everyone has access to safe #sanitation, no matter how the world changes around them.

To help cities respond to this changing reality, Athena conducted a CWIS baseline across five urban centres, tracing how waste actually moves through the system, where services break down & what it will take to build sanitation chains that are safe, equitable & future-ready.
