Islamabad, The Land Information and Management System (LIMS), under the Green Pakistan Initiative, is setting its sights on the revitalization of agriculture within the arid expanse of the Cholistan desert. Through the adoption of modern agricultural technologies and the provision of essential resources, this ambitious initiative aims to usher in a new era of farming and livestock management in one of the country’s most challenging environments.
According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, LIMS’s initiative marks a significant pivot towards employing cutting-edge farming techniques, including the introduction of smart agricultural machinery imported from China. This development is part of the broader Corporate Farming Initiative, which seeks to modernize agriculture across Pakistan by embracing global best practices, enhancing productivity, and ensuring efficient resource use.
The initiative’s initial focus on Cholistan is strategic, aimed at demonstrating the viability and benefits of such modern interventions in a desert setting. This effort is expected to lay the groundwork for expanding corporate farming on a national scale, thereby contributing to sustainable prosperity and the resilience of Pakistan’s agricultural sector.
By providing critical resources such as water and electricity to farmers in the region, the Green Pakistan Initiative is not only aiming to revitalize agriculture in Cholistan but also to set a precedent for large-scale agricultural transformation across the country. This represents a significant step forward in Pakistan’s journey towards sustainable agricultural practices and economic development.
