Description
Agriculture sector is the second highest contributor to total GHG emissions in Pakistan and rice cultivation is one of the main sources. Standard production practices using continuous flooding contribute significant methane emissions as well as consume huge amount of fresh water. The technique of alternate-wetting-drying (AWD) uses a more controlled irrigation strategy that can significantly reduce methane emissions as well as water use and pumping costs. NetZeroAg plans to introduce AWD method to a group of 700 farmers on 7,085 ha (17,500 acres) in Sheikhpura district of Punjab Province, Pakistan. The company, along with its local subsidiary Rice Partners Pvt Ltd; will provide advisory services to participating farmers about the selection of seed, sowing methods, planting implements, optimum planting time, judicious use of fertilizers and pesticides, better agronomy practices and the implementation of AWD through visits, audio calls IEC material and SMS services.
