The Situation in Pakistan
Time and again, Pakistan has to contend with extreme weather conditions: droughts dry out the soil, and monsoon-like rains destroy what little harvest there is. As a result, thousands of families are left with nothing and must rebuild their livelihoods year after year. This is usually not very sustainable, as traditional sources of income will not withstand the extreme weather next year either. New, long-term methods for securing livelihoods and climate-resilient agriculture are needed.
