Pakistan falls among the most vulnerable countries to climate change, with the phenomenon being felt in every field of life, affecting water and food production globally. This man-made challenge has pressed the world to mull over various means and methods to try and contain it, including Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) to manage crops naturally and effectively.
Extreme weather patterns and events, droughts, heat waves, floods, food insecurity and other challenges posed by the changing climate threaten world economies and production, and Pakistan is no exception.
The Chairman of Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (PARC) Dr Ghulam Mohammad Ali, remarked “Climate-Smart Agriculture practices are vital and should be initiated in the country to improve crop yield”. “Presently, a few farmers are using CSA but we need to promote these practices and technology on a broader scale.”
