Climate Smart Livestock Production, by Dr Adil Rasool ParayAdil Rasool Paray
Climate smart livestock production aims to sustainably increase productivity, enhance resilience, reduce greenhouse gases, and achieve food security. Livestock accounts for 40% of global agricultural GDP and emits about 12-18% of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. As the world population grows, demand for livestock products is projected to more than double by 2050. Climate change negatively impacts livestock through increased heat stress, changing feed availability, and disease emergence. Impacts include reduced intake, reproduction and immunity, posing challenges to global food security. Adaptation strategies are needed to ensure sustainable livestock production.
The document discusses the importance of livestock management in Pakistan, noting that the livestock sector contributes significantly to the country's economy and rural employment. It provides details on the role and contributions of the dairy, meat, and poultry industries, as well as common livestock management practices. The document also outlines challenges facing Pakistan's livestock resources, including climate, breeding methods, healthcare, and facilities.
The role of livestock in food and nutrition securityILRI
Presented by Jimmy Smith at the University of Florida Global Nutrition Symposium on ‘Nurturing development: Improving Human Nutrition with Animal-Source Foods’, 29–30 March 2017
The document discusses nutritional management strategies for livestock during times of scarcity caused by natural calamities. It describes how floods can damage crops, stored feed, and water sources. It recommends using fallen leaves, crop residues, and aquatic plants as alternative feeds during floods. It emphasizes balanced feeding for different classes of livestock based on their nutrient needs. Complete feed blocks and urea treatment of straw are presented as techniques to improve the nutritional value of available feeds.
Livestock and global change: Towards a sustainable and equitable livestock se...ILRI
This document discusses balancing trade-offs in the livestock sector between food production, efficiency, livelihoods, and the environment. It notes that livestock occupy a large amount of global land and water resources and account for a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions. However, livestock also provide important economic and nutritional benefits globally. Going forward, more sustainable and equitable livestock systems will be needed to meet increasing demand for livestock products while minimizing environmental impacts. Intensification of production could allow for higher output with fewer animals and less land expansion, but trade-offs would need to be carefully considered.
The document discusses housing and equipment requirements for dairy cows. It provides guidelines for proper location, design, and construction of dairy barns and sheds. Key considerations include adequate drainage, exposure to sunlight, accessibility, and space per cow. Different housing systems like loose housing and conventional barns are compared. Design features of cow sheds like mangers, alleys, and manure gutters are specified. Separate accommodation for calves, sick cows, and young stock is also recommended.
Livestock and poultry sectors in Pakistan a Report By Allah Dad Khan Mr.Allah Dad Khan
Livestock, including cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats and poultry, make up an important part of Pakistan's economy, contributing 11.4% to GDP. The livestock population in Pakistan has grown significantly between 1955 and 2006. The report outlines the various livestock production systems and notes constraints like inadequate feed, disease epidemics, and lack of infrastructure and investment. The livestock development policy aims to increase productivity and move towards more commercial, market-oriented farming through private sector-led development and enabling public sector support. Similarly, the poultry development policy focuses on facilitating private sector-led intensive production, processing and disease control to supply domestic and international markets.
The roles of livestock in achieving the sustainable development goalsILRI
Presented by Iain A Wright, Deputy Director General-Research (ILRI) at the 25 Anniversary Conference of the Ethiopian Society for Animal Production (ESAP), Haramaya, Ethiopia, 24–26 August 2017
The document summarizes key findings from India's 20th livestock census in 2019. It finds that India's total livestock population is 535.78 million, a 4.6% increase from 2012. Cattle population is 192.49 million (+0.8%) and buffaloes are 109.85 million (+1.0%). Milk production saw the largest increase at 6.0%. Sheep rose 14.1% to 74.26 million while goats increased 10.1% to 148.88 million. Pigs declined 12.03% to 9.06 million. Poultry, including commercial and backyard, increased 16.8% to 851.81 million. Livestock makes up 4.11%
Climate change poses serious threats to the environment and dairy production in Africa. Dairy production contributes to climate change through feed production, processing, transportation, and enteric methane emissions from cattle. However, climate change also negatively impacts dairy production by shortening growing seasons, causing water scarcity, and increasing heat stress for cattle. To adapt, the dairy industry needs to improve resilience through better herd management, feed strategies, and manure management to mitigate emissions. The future will require more sustainable dairy production to meet increasing demand while protecting the environment.

Dairy Industry In Pakistan: A ScenarioAsjad Khuram
The document provides an overview of the dairy industry in Pakistan. It discusses the history and development of the dairy sector, including milk production systems, breeds and feeding practices. Pakistan has the fourth largest milk production in the world but low yields per animal. Only 3-4% of milk is processed while the majority is consumed raw. The government has established organizations to support the dairy sector but production and infrastructure face numerous issues. Future prospects include increasing yields, expanding processing capacity, and developing formal milk markets.
The document summarizes Pakistan's agriculture sector. It states that agriculture accounts for about 21% of Pakistan's GDP and 43% of the labor force. The top crops are wheat, sugarcane, cotton, rice, and maize. Pakistan is a major global producer and exporter of cotton, rice, fruits, and dairy. Livestock also contributes significantly to the economy, with Pakistan being the 4th largest milk producer. The government aims to further develop the agriculture sector through loans, subsidies, and other initiatives.
Role of livestock in national economy and population dynamics.
Provide livelihood to 2-3rd of rural community.
Also provides employment to 8.8% of the population in India.
20.5 million people depend upon livestock for their livelihood.
Livestock contribute to 16% to the income of small farm households.
Contributes to 4.11% of GDP and 25.6% of total agriculture GDP.
This document discusses calf fattening in Pakistan. It notes the increasing demand for meat due to population growth, urbanization, and rising incomes. Per capita meat consumption in Pakistan has risen from 11 kg in 1983 to a projected 47 kg in 2020. The majority of beef production comes from traditional, inefficient systems involving young calves. The document advocates for commercial feedlot systems to finish calves on balanced diets to higher weights to produce quality beef. It provides details on feedlot design, selection of animals, feeding, and management. Feeding trials demonstrated growth rates of over 1 kg per day. Commercial feedlot systems can yield good profits but farmers must sell processed, high quality meat through organized markets.
Beef cattle are cattle raised for meat production (as distinguished from dairy cattle, used for milk production). The meat of adult cattle is known as beef. In beef production there are three main stages: cow-calf operations, backgrounding, and feedlot operations.
This document discusses goat farming in India. It notes that goat farming is suitable for India's climate and economic conditions, as goats can survive on little vegetation and grass. It provides information on various goat breeds, housing, feeding, breeding, and diseases. The key advantages of goat farming are that goats are a multipurpose animal, require less investment than cattle, and are well-suited to small-scale farmers. Overall the document promotes goat farming as a profitable business option for Indian farmers.
After carrying out an in-depth SWOT Analysis of Pakistan's Horticultural Sector, this presentation identifies the challenges this sector is facing and proposes a set of recommendations to respond to these challenges

The document discusses the growth and development potential of livestock and fisheries in Bangladesh. It finds that livestock contributes 2.9% to national GDP while fisheries contribute 5%. Aquaculture is driving fisheries growth through improved breeds and management. However, open water fisheries are declining though still contribute over 40% of fish production. There will be deficits in milk, meat, and fish production by 2015 unless growth accelerates. Priority investment areas include removing policy barriers, offering incentives and subsidies, and promoting smallholder poultry, dairy, and community-based fisheries management.
Role of livestock extension in the food security scenario of India- Dr.Subin ...KVASU
Livestock extension plays an important role in ensuring food security in India. It transfers technologies from research stations to farmers to increase livestock production and productivity. Various government agencies and non-government organizations are involved in livestock extension to educate farmers, empower women, and enhance human resource development. Strengthening livestock extension services can further improve the livestock sector and help address issues of poverty and food insecurity.
The document discusses opportunities for investment in Australian agriculture to meet growing global demand for food and protein. It notes that Australia is well positioned due to stable politics, economy, farm management skills, land title security and proximity to Asia. While some local investors were not interested, over 60 global investors have been canvassed, with specialist long-term investors seeking returns above risk-free rates and capital gains seeing potential. The document outlines opportunities in livestock, cropping and northern development to satisfy projected Asian demand increases.

Agro processing involves conservation and handling of agricultural produce to make it usable as food, feed, fiber, fuel or raw material. Value addition is the process of changing a raw commodity into a more valuable state. In India, only a small percentage of agricultural produce is processed. There is potential to increase value addition through food processing. Food processing offers opportunities to meet growing consumer demand, improve productivity and utilize technological advances.
present status of pakistan feed industry and its problems-pptDr. Waqas Nawaz
Pakistan's livestock sector contributes significantly to the economy and rural incomes, but animal production is low due to feed deficiencies. The major feed resources in Pakistan are crop residues, grazing lands, cultivated fodders, and cereal/legume byproducts. There are over 200 feed mills, but few produce compound feed. The feed industry operates below capacity due to issues like poor storage leading to damaged crops. Challenges facing the industry include a lack of investment, modern technology, and support from the government.
Presentation by Dr Sikhalazo Dube from ILRI, at the Regional planning meeting on ‘Scaling-Up Climate-Smart Agricultural Solutions for Cereals and Livestock Farmers in Southern Africa – Building partnership for successful implementation’,13–15 September 2016, Johannesburg, South Africa
This document provides a case study of Idara-e-Kissan, a vertically integrated dairy cooperative in Pakistan. It analyzes the economic performance of Idara-e-Kissan members compared to non-members, finding that members had higher net returns, more milk buffaloes, fewer dry buffaloes, and greater use of feed supplements. Members also had better access to veterinary services. However, the cooperative's impact was more modest in areas requiring public goods like livestock breeding and fodder productivity. The analysis suggests cooperatives can improve farmers' livelihoods but there is still an important role for government in supplying public goods like agricultural research.
Small Ruminant Developmental programmes- An overviewDr Pranav Kumar
Small ruminants like sheep and goats make valuable contributions to rural livelihoods in developing countries by providing meat, milk, fiber and skins. However, research and development investments in small ruminant production have not matched their importance. The document discusses the history of small ruminant development programs in India since the 19th century. It outlines breeding strategies and development efforts under various Five-Year Plans. While small ruminants are economically important and well-adapted, productivity remains low due to lack of policy attention and funding compared to other livestock. Focused small ruminant development is needed to improve rural incomes and nutrition."

Political Economy of a Post-Colonial State; Economic Development of PakistanShahid Hussain Raja
Despite all the ups and downs, Pakistan is now the 26th largest economy in the world in terms of Purchasing Power Parity, (44th largest in terms of nominal GDP). With per capita income of US$ 4550, Pakistan occupies at 140th place on this count in the world, thanks to her burgeoning population of 200 million people. Pakistan is one of the Next Eleven, the eleven countries that, along with the BRICs, have a potential to become one of the world's large economies in the 21st century. By 2050, with an estimated GDP of $3.33 trillion, Pakistan is expected to become world’s 18th largest economy, according to Goldman Sachs. However, this progress is not as impressive as it looks or should have been keeping her potential. Similarly her dismal social indicators, structural anomalies and income disparities leave much to be desired.
This presentation sums up the development experience—what Pakistan did marvellously, what it did marginally and where it failed miserably during her development journey. It ends with an the lessons other developing countries can learn from this development experience of Pakistan.

Terrorism is an historical as well as a universal phenomenon; has been practiced by every type of organisation, religious or non-religious, right-wing or left-wing.Consequently, the reasons for the terrorist activity and the identity of those who carry out these acts are always subject to the context, time and place.Unfortunately, there is no consensus on its accurate definition. More than one hundred definitions in the field; one country’s terrorists are other country’s freedom fighters. Rather than seeking the causes of terrorism itself, a better approach is to determine the conditions that make terror possible or likely.Stopping violence is rarely simple or easy. Only time and commitment by a majority of the parties involved can resolve a conflict. Keeping in view the multidimensional nature of terrorism, we must adopt a long term holistic and comprehensive approach for its eradication.
This presentation is an attempt to encompass the various issues related to this complex phemenon and presents a plan of action to control this menace

Beyond the Advance Presentation for By the Book 9John Rodzvilla
In June 2020, L.L. McKinney, a Black author of young adult novels, began the #publishingpaidme hashtag to create a discussion on how the publishing industry treats Black authors: “what they’re paid. What the marketing is. How the books are treated. How one Black book not reaching its parameters casts a shadow on all Black books and all Black authors, and that’s not the same for our white counterparts.” (Grady 2020) McKinney’s call resulted in an online discussion across 65,000 tweets between authors of all races and the creation of a Google spreadsheet that collected information on over 2,000 titles.
While the conversation was originally meant to discuss the ethical value of book publishing, it became an economic assessment by authors of how publishers treated authors of color and women authors without a full analysis of the data collected. This paper would present the data collected from relevant tweets and the Google database to show not only the range of advances among participating authors split out by their race, gender, sexual orientation and the genre of their work, but also the publishers’ treatment of their titles in terms of deal announcements and pre-pub attention in industry publications. The paper is based on a multi-year project of cleaning and evaluating the collected data to assess what it reveals about the habits and strategies of American publishers in acquiring and promoting titles from a diverse group of authors across the literary, non-fiction, children’s, mystery, romance, and SFF genres.

3. Pakistan's livestock sector has a great potential for its development due to its rich
inheritance of different species of animals, domesticated thousands of years ago and
the love for these animals among the people
Its slow development is a cumulative result of decades of neglect and
underinvestment, a weak policy and regulatory framework, production and
productivity problems, marketing issues etc
These problems, plus the fact that it is a secondary activity for farmers, contributed to
low rates of return on investment that consequently fail to attract new investment.
This presentation explains the ground realities about the livestock sector of Pakistan
and suggests a strategy to develop this sector to its full potential
4. Despite its relative decline in formal economy in percentage terms,
agriculture is still dominant sector in overall economic structure
Pakistan’s survival and growth are directly dependent on its
agriculture due to its socio-political interconnectedness and its
economic and financial linkages-backward and forward
Its performance still dictates all our macro indicators - GDP,
Poverty, External Balance, Inflation etc
5. Total area of Pakistan is approximately 80 million hectares out of which about
58 million hectares have been surveyed so far by the Soil Survey of Pakistan
According to them, the area under cultivation is 22 million hectares (38%) out of
which nearly 19 million hectares is irrigated; the rest is rain fed
The area under forest is 4 million hectares (7%) and the balance surveyed area 8
million hectares can be classified as the cultivable waste
Coupled with suitable climate and availability of fairly good water resources,
agriculture has been the major activity for centuries in this part of the world
6. Agriculture sector of Pakistan comprises four sectors - livestock,
crop, forest and fisheries
Livestock contributes 55% of the total agriculture production while
crop sector adds 38% to it out of which the contribution of major
crops is 25% and minor crops is 13%
Fisheries and forestry contribute 2% each
Around 8 million families, consisting of 40 million people are
dependent on farming and allied activities n the rural areas
7. Human Food Source: Animals are very good source of high quality
protein-rich food, essential micronutrients for humans, make food
balanced and nutritious by converting inedible protein found in
forage into humanly digestible form
Animal Feed Source: Poultry manure used for ruminant feeding,
generate algae as a feed for fish. Slaughterhouse wastes, when
processed, make a good source of protein (offal and viscera) and
mineral (bones) supplements in animal feeds.
Saving/investment Source: livestock important means of saving,
capital investment, providing higher return, easily sold when
needed
8. Income/Employment Source: Livestock farming is a labour-intensive
activity for males as well as females. Even feasible to earn side
income for farmers with no land of their own/small land holding.
Draught Energy Source: Most of the animals are used by the
farmers to carryout agricultural operations for pulling agricultural
implements, pumping irrigation water and skidding in forests.
Fuel Energy Source: cow dung is highly valued as fuel for cooking
and heating Biogas production from manure is an excellent
substitute for fossil fuel or fuel wood for farmers in rural areas.
Fertilizer Source :Crop residues more efficiently utilized through
ruminant feeding, including production of organic manure for fields
9. Pakistan has a lot of potential because variety in land and climate provides ample
opportunities for raising of a wide range of small and large animals
Large number of indigenous animals are reared while there is scope for
commercial production of exotic animals. In some animals, Pakistan occupies
prominent world position in terms of production i.e.5th largest producer of milk,
The sector is informal, profit margin is low and land holdings are small which has
diverted investment to other sectors. Lack of financial resources and high
interest rates of financial services available have further retarded its growth
Approximately35 million rural population is engaged in livestock raising and are
deriving 30-40% of their income from this sector which contributes 55% to
agricultural production and 11.2 % of export earnings of the country.
10. Name of animal Number of animals(Millions)
Cattle 37
Buffalo 33
Sheep 28
Goat 63
Poultry 721 Billion
13. Availability of vast barren land for grazing of animals and
cultivated land for their feed
Vast number and variety of large and small animals for meat, milk
and poultry
Extremely favourable terrain and climate for raising of every type
of animals-exotic and indigenous
Centuries of accumulated knowledge about good livestock
practices among the people who love animals
14. Landlessness and small land holding prevents farmers to raise
livestock on commercial basis, mainly subsistence farming
Limited knowledge/facilities for veterinary services in rural areas
Almost for every farmer, livestock farming is a secondary activity
and not the main occupation, thus giving secondary importance
15. Increasing population and rising prosperity is fueling the demand
for animal based food
Growing global/regional demand for high quality Pakistani meat
There is rapidly emerging niche market for Halal food which can
be profitably utilized
Increasing interest of local/foreign investors in food industry
including livestock
16. Reduced areas for natural grazing and feed production in the face of
increasing urbanisation and food security crops requirements
Trans-boundary diseases in the wake of increased imports of exotic
animals for cross breeding
Rising food safety concerns of the developed countries can be a threat
for export of livestock
Wholesale slaughter and smuggling is fast depleting the gene pool of
the livestock in the country
Climate change and environmental degradation
17. How to ensure adequate supply of safe, quality livestock
and dairy products on sustainable basis at affordable
prices to meet their growing demand from a rapidly
increasing and becoming prosperous population in the
backdrop of looming threat of climate change and
environmental degradation
18. We need to formulate a comprehensive livestock policy which should
indicate the broad direction for this sector, create institutions and define
their respective roles, make rules for coordination, set safety standards
and provide an incentive and rewards system for various stake holders
Government’s role should be confined to legislation, policy
development, regulation, capacity building and facilitation, while the
private sector should take the lead in investment and value chain
development on its own or on Public Private Partnership basis
Within the national policy settings, livestock should be developed on the
basis of following five broad objectives;
19. Increase productivity by increasing efficiency in all livestock/dairy
operations
Increase profitability by rationalizing input and output prices and
ensuring fair returns to the farmers
Making livestock/dairy produce competitive in the rapidly
globalizing world
Ensuring sustainability by promoting environment friendly good
livestock practices
Ensuring equitable distribution of gains from enhanced
productivity to all stakeholders
20. Accelerating the national economic growth by increasing the rate of growth of
livestock, an important subsector of the economy
Reducing the unemployment by creating job opportunities
Increasing Pakistan's foreign exchange earnings by increasing quantity, quality and
variety of livestock exports
Ensuring food security and nutritional balance of the people’s food intake by
providing them protein rich livestock products in their food
Helping the state in its poverty alleviation efforts by providing them a labour
intensive, low capital intensive investment
Improving the status of women by providing them opportunities to own resources
21. Research, Development and Extension
Skills Development
Increasing the Production-Milk/Meat
Inputs-genes, vaccines, credit
Marketing and Value Addition
Commercialisation
Mechanisation
Cross cutting issues
22. Our agricultural Research& Development and Extension suffer from many structural
and management weaknesses-low funding, weak coordination and linkages among
research, education and extension, inadequate technical and professional capacities
of the agricultural research institutions, infrastructure etc
Government should introduce need based agriculture education, create effective
inter/intra institutional linkages & collaboration with reputable foreign universities
It should also promote demand driven quality based R&D and extension services by
encouraging public-private partnerships that are linked to livestock value chains
Research and development programs must focus on finding solutions in terms of
increasing productivity, reduce burden of diseases and increase farmers’
profitability.
23. Pakistan is woefully short of skilled manpower at all levels of livestock and dairy
industry- management, supervision and field.
Skill development through in-service training at different R&D institutions can
enhance capabilities of extension staff. Such programs should be initiated in
agriculture universities and research institutes in all provinces
Postgraduate programs in livestock and dairy management should help
providing skilled human resource for the industry.
Skilled labor should be attracted and retained through competitive minimum
wages for the agricultural labor and the development of industry vocational
training programs
24. Pakistan already ranks fifth largest producer of milk in the world despite its being an
informal sector, non commercial operations and low profit margins. This potential can
be doubled in five years by adopting an appropriate strategy.
For this purpose more emphasis should be on productivity increase rather than
increasing the number of animals through indigenous genetic improvement and
import of high milk producing animals
Local and foreign investment should be encouraged and directed towards
modernisation, commercialization ,diversification and value addition through proper
legal and regulatory framework, financial assistance and technical support
Government should concentrate on two core areas-R&D plus Extension and improving
the infrastructure to ease the movement of milk and its products, reduce the costs of
doing business and hence increasing the profitability of this subsector
25. Although Pakistan globally ranks very high in terms of number and quality of meat
animals, its exports ranking in this sector are abysmally low .Being an informal
sector, non commercial operations and low profit margins, its potential has not
been adequately exploited
For this purpose emphasis should be placed on both-productivity increase as well
as increasing the number of animals through indigenous genetic improvement and
import of high meat producing animals
Local and foreign investment should be encouraged and directed towards
modernisation, commercialization ,diversification and value addition through
proper legal and regulatory framework, financial assistance and technical support
Government should concentrate on two core areas-R&D plus Extension and
improving the infrastructure to ease the movement of meat and its products, reduce
the costs of doing business and hence increasing the profitability of this subsector
26. Wholesale slaughtering of animals to meet the growing domestic and export
needs plus unabated smuggling to neighboring countries are threatening the
indigenous species of our cattle, reducing their gene pool resource.
Besides taking policy and programmes measures to preserve our indigenous
genetic pool, variety development and local production of good quality
genetic pool in the private sector be encouraged by providing them
appropriate legal cover and technical and financial support for establishing
partnerships between bio-tech research institutes and private companies
Allowing import of high yielding animals, semen and embryos for
crossbreeding, expansion / improvement and modernization of laboratory
facilities to diagnose and treat livestock diseases are some other measures
to preserve and improve our indigenous stock
27. There are various estimates of animal losses due to non-use of proper
veterinary medicines by the farmers. Fear, Ignorance and costs are the
main reasons for this neglect
Government should popularize the efficient and judicious use of these
medicines for reducing production losses with minimum side effects on
human and animal
It should also ensure timely availability of un-adulterated veterinary
medicines at reasonable prices to doorsteps of the farmers through
rationalisation of prices, in time import and provision of subsidy when
28. Streamlining traditional informal sources of rural credit by
integrating them with formal banking system is the need of the day
Making financial products tailor-made for small livestock farmers
and of micro, small and medium non-farm rural enterprises to
become efficiently linked to agri-based supply chains
Increasing the volume and outreach of formal banking network for
timely and easy access to credit by farming community
29. One biggest handicaps for development of livestock sector is absence of modern marketing
infrastructure on supply/demand side. Establish them on public-private partnership basis
Value addition can increase the sectoral profitability and earn valuable foreign exchange for
the country for which the government has to come forward in a big way.
Encouraging quality consciousness among farmers through awareness campaigns, introducing
and implementing grading standards and improving marketing system of agricultural produce
Making agricultural produce globally competitive by enforcing SPS standards and introducing
international certifications are some of the measures needed for value addition
Another niche market for value addition is the certification of Halal products which are
becoming very popular and their demand is increasing rapidly.
30. ◦ In order to achieve rapid growth in meat and milk production we will have to
convert this sector from a subsistence and side business to commercial and
mainstream activity through its shifting to market oriented enterprises
◦ Not only big commercial farms should be encouraged but small livestock
farmers be also given the same technology package and financial support
◦ Similarly females who normally rear these animals should be encouraged and
facilitated to own these farms on commercial basis
◦ Government should expand animal health service, allow duty free import of
veterinary dairy, and livestock machinery/equipment and also allow import of
feed inputs, vaccines etc at concessional rates
31. Increasing its efficiency through mechanization by encouraging good practices
among farmers, incentivize them to use machines/equipment in operations
Easy access of the farmers to essential livestock and dairy machinery by
facilitating private sector to open farm machinery leasing/hiring outlets in
villages instead of farmers owning these costly equipment themselves
Expansion and modernization of local agricultural machinery manufacturing by
providing them training, incentives and technical/financial support to produce
agricultural and other implements as per international standards
33. Increasing horizontal farming and urbanisation are gradually squeezing
the space traditionally reserved for animal grazing and rearing.
Declining fertility of our agricultural lands due to non sustainable
agricultural practices plus degradation of lands due to water logging &
salinity, a negative side effect of our irrigation practices
Lastly we are misusing our scarce land resources as we are cultivating
crops on lands extremely suitable for horticultural use
Meed for formulating a long term comprehensive land use policy for
rational use of land resources to stop rapid conversion of valuable arable
land for non-farming purposes
34. Agricultural transformation demands restructuring, not merely fine-
tuning, the political economy of the rural areas
Improve the terms of trade between agriculture and the other sectors
of the economy so that the farmers get fair returns for their efforts
Rationalize the prices of the inputs farmers use, provide subsidy on
them and as well as those of commodities they produce
Selective procurement when prices of agricultural commodities crash
introduction of crop/livestock insurance schemes are other methods
to improve the terms of trade of agriculture sector
35. Replace the centuries old production relations of land cultivation in the rural
areas of Pakistan and introduce the three modern forms of farming
Contract farming-encouraging agri-based processors to supply inputs & technology packages to farmers on
deferred payment with buy-back of produce at guaranteed prices
Cooperative farming-facilitating the formation of rural cooperatives to improve the bargaining position of the
stakeholders and ensure their easy access to quality inputs at affordable prices at their doorsteps
Corporate farming-promoting lease of commercially viable tracts of land to corporate level entrepreneurs who are
willing to practice high-tech export oriented agriculture and share profits with the owners
It needs comprehensive legislation about contract making/dispute resolution as
well as their strict implementation through a special institutional infrastructure
36. Rural infrastructure i.e.roads, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure are in
deplorable condition in most of the towns and villages
Adversely affects productivity but also results in increased costs of marketing,
high prices of inputs, reduced quality of rural life, disincentive for investment
No doubt the government has invested a lot in farm to markets roads,
construction of health facilities, schools and also rural electrification.
However there are complaints of substandard workmanship and their fast wear
and tear due to paucity of maintenance funds.
Similarly there are complaints of shortage of staff to man these health and
educational schools.
37. Urgent need to create awareness among farmers about looming threat of climate
change/environmental degradation which will adversely affect agriculture
Popularize sustainable agricultural practices by synchroning extension services of
provincial agricultural departments and marketing outlets of the private agro
services providers to promote environment friendly practices
Government should promulgation legislation for stopping of practices aggravating
the threat of climate change
Allocate resources for research to develop varieties responsive to climate change
and environmental degradation
38. Rural women are under three pressures-nature, society and family, all treat them
unfairly in terms of status, ownership of resources, job opportunities and empowerment
Most important ways to improve their conditions is to improve healthcare and family
planning facilities in the rural areas to relieve them of excessive child bearing burden
Launching of special rural female literacy and education campaign by offering attractive
monetary rewards would help in their empowerment and reduce domestic violence
Ensuring women’s access to resources and assets, including ownership of land by
creating awareness about their rights and strict enforcement of legal framework priority
Providing equitable opportunities to women by developing marketing oriented skills and
remunerative employment in the rural
39. We need to enhance agricultural productivity at micro and macro
level by increasing efficiency in all its operations,
Public as well as private sector investment in R&D, extension
services, rural infrastructure, marketing, value addition etc.
Unfortunately, the flow of investment funds towards agriculture,
which has recently picked up, is still far below the desired levels.
This needs to be increased to make livestock sector more dynamic
