Akistan has to deal with the dual challenges of climate change and rural poverty. These challenges are linked and demand integrated solutions that combine indigenous knowledge with modern green methods to enable rural communities to adopt climate effects, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and live their livelihood. It is time for innovation.
Smart agriculture, renewable energy use and nature -based solutions for environmental tourism, and from diverse sources of livelihoods globally, various measures can increase flexibility against climate shock and promote sustainable local economic development in weak communities. By equipped with the tools and training needed to empower local farmers, women and youth, we can promote flexible, low -carbon communities that are self -sufficient and environmentally sustainable.
According to the World Bank, climate agriculture agriculture (CSA) is an integrated approach to the management of scenes, livestock, forests and fishing, to tackle food safety and climate change challenges. Important areas of CSA include water protection, soil health, pest management, crop diversity, crop varieties, organic farming techniques, livestock feed and fertilizer management. Empowering farmers through training, demonstration forms and cooperative models is essential to the point of view to enhance flexibility and market access. After this approach, Pakistan works with a network of partners across the country to pilot and promote modern methods in rural communities.
The PPAF experience shows that the effective techniques of water management with rain water and timely water schedules ensure maximum moisture during the main period of crop growth. Sustainable methods of soil management, including the use of organic fertilizers, crops circulation and protection farming, which, in the request of soil testing and balanced nutrients, helps to reduce climate change and reduce climate change through farmers’ education, increasing productivity and preventing land deficiency.
Wiklavo smiles, does not lie in the number of his book – 71 things that you need to know about the world emphasize that the crop rotation, especially the leggymanos plants, can significantly reduce the use of artificial ammonia by natural filling soil nitrogen. In addition to biological nitrogen fixing, the recycling form can be supported by organic waste and small scale or organic system from human and animal waste and can create a niche industry, especially for small farmers. (About 43 43 % of farmers in Pakistan have less than one hectare of land).
The Food and Agricultural Organization has identified a narrow selection of crops, such as rice, corn and wheat, which dominates the global nutrition. Of the species of more than 50,000 vegetable plants in the world, 15 crop plants provide 90 % of the world’s food energy quantity.
Rice, corn and wheat, more than 4,000 million people, provide 60 % of the world’s food energy. Gradually, we can introduce a wide range of edible crop types and cultivate climate -related elastic species that can not only cope with drought, flood and temperature to promote nutrition, but also reduce the risk of safety and reduce the risk of safety of crop.
Providing certified seeds and training farmers to prepare their seeds can lead to better production, more and more resining from pests and tolerance of drought. Communities can also establish seeds banks to ensure the availability of standard seeds and to make them accessible to neighboring villages, to promote locally flexibility and self -reliance.
Climate smart agriculture is also about reducing greenhouse gases. Agriculture contributes to about 41 % of GHG emissions in Pakistan, mostly through livestock production. Effective crop and livestock management and low emissions can help minimize farming, adapt to agricultural forests and manage livestock feed and waste effectively. Encouraging renewable energy use for farming tasks, such as solar powered irrigation systems, will further reduce carbon marks in agriculture. Improved irrigation and water management can reduce the emission of methane.
The Human Development Report, 2020, has argued that local nature -based solutions are capable of contributing to a global change. Pushing this global approach, Pakistan can advance its climate goals by integrating its climate goals with green skills, promoting maximum engagement in nature -based economic sectors, while reducing carbon footprint of non -sustainable products.
Green skills and business training can provide young and skillful skills and skills to manufacture friendly products and biodegradable products for land using agricultural products and connect them to Value China. Communities can manufacture and pack several products using resources from fields, kitchen gardens and wild growth sources.
According to the European Union, Pakistan produces about 2 million tonnes of plastic garbage every year. Single -use plastic waste can be reduced by compostable tech -containers made of materials like potato starch, banana leaves, trunk pulp, sugarcane, bamboo or wheat straw. Clearly, grass straw can be manufactured as a sustainable alternative to plastic straw and can be provided in packaging industries, hotels and restaurants.
There is knowledge around the smart methods of climate. It needs to be translated into action. The PPAF has introduced a dedicated category for innovative projects under its restoration social services and climate -based move, which has 61 union councils in 19 flood -hit districts. Similarly, the PPAF is supporting the development of agricultural profession and value chain in 22 districts of Sindh and Balochistan, through developed initiatives for the European Union’s financing and sustainable development project. An example of this is the banana tissue culture lab in the scalp, which is set up with a matching grant, which develops Panama-inflected bananas plants-it describes how agricultural tech can promote food safety and enlighten young people with livelihood.
We should find more options for young traders not only in the fields of upcoming, water agriculture, fluorer and gardening, but also in the emerging fields of serial, hydroponic and vertical farming. Green infrastructure development can include youth training, which is the construction of wet areas (even to treat water with water with wastewater), rain gardens, sivis, retention ponds and water management and water management and waterfalls.
Young people can also be equipped to build integrated valleys with parks, thus increasing water management, promotes geometricity and provides community recreation. Women and young people can be skilled in low -carbon, structurally proportional local construction techniques that build environmental houses and livestock shelters according to climate. There are natural insulation and flooding flexible properties.
It is possible to enhance these activities on hospitality and cultural, environmental and agricultural tourism measures and to enhance the local economy and to strengthen the rest of the activities.
Together combinations and reduction methods can increase agricultural production, protect resources, preserve natural resources and environmental systems, and increase revenue for farming communities, while the food safety of the poor can be improved. Organizations like Pakistan are already implementing some of these ways. However, fierce cooperation with government agencies is essential to enhance these innovations across the country.
