Our focus

We have been busy evolving our focus and mission alongside a community of inspiring individuals around the world. One element that remains constant - our focus remains on how we can integrate science, business and our whole being, to find solutions to these issues. We continue to believe that naming the challenge, the opportunities and what happens when we bring our best, our love, our passions and our strengths, and weaving them together forges the most sustainable and impactful paths forward.

While our website catches up with this expansion, we would like to share some of our past work and some past work of Shefali, our Founder. Open Rivers collaborates with diverse communities, focused on addressing the complex challenges that face our world. To address these challenges, we have worked in several areas including, but not limited to, agriculture, data and technology, climate change, conservation and biodiversity, and diversity and equity. Our experience stems from continuous work across space and time, with the recognition that we are always learning and finding new paths of investigation and solution. Please take a look at some examples of writing, videos and work with collaborators and others, through the links below.

We also have a selection of discussions with experts and collaborators prior to the Winter of 2021.
