SAFE works towards sustainable development goals for poverty alleviation and inclusive growth of marginal agrarian communities in the countries of South Asia through sustainable intensification of ecosystem services and carbon neutral agriculture pertaining to low water intensive organic farming, hydroponics and slim-soil cultivation, harvesting on blue carbon potentials of coastal areas through integrated aquafarming and algaculture and other adaptive farming technologies like Zero-tillage, system of rice intensification and greenhouse farming. In the urban area, SAFE is promoting renewable energy solutions for water and sanitation for urban poor and as well vertical farming for ensuring urban food deficits and biodiversity loss and as well reducing the heat-island effects. Capacity building and technology partnership is an important facet of work in the mandatory adaptation activity's list of SAFE. By sustainable intensification of the services of nature, SAFE primarily targets to augment community based ecotourism to compensate the opportunity costs incurred by marginal communities through payments for ecosystem services.
