Climate-Smart Agriculture for Resilient & Productive Farming

Implementing precision agriculture, smart irrigation, perennial fodder systems, and IoT technologies across Pakistan

Farm Dynamics Pakistan (FDP), a leading agricultural technology company representing 10+ global Ag-Tech firms, is driving climate-resilient agriculture in Pakistan. Through the deployment of precision farming technologies, smart irrigation systems, perennial fodder crops, and climate-smart IoT solutions, FDP supports climate change mitigation, adaptation, and increased agricultural productivity.

Client Profile

Location: Fertile plains of Punjab, Pakistan
Size: 5,000 acres
Crop: Wheat
Type: Family-owned commercial agribusiness
Mechanized Sugarcane Harvesters represents three generations of wheat cultivation, supplying both local and national markets. While ambitious, traditional methods limited growth, efficiency, and profitability.

The Challenges

Before partnering with us, Mechanized Sugarcane Harvesters faced:

Inefficient Input Use
  • Excessive seed rates
  • High fertilizer and fuel consumption
  • Low crop uniformity
Water Stress
  • Over-irrigation and water wastage
  • Limited monitoring of soil moisture and salinity
Livestock Productivity Losses
  • Dependence on low-nutrition crop residues
  • Seasonal fodder shortages
  • Reduced milk yields and higher methane emissions
Climate Risk
  • Poor access to localized weather intelligence
  • Crop losses due to climate-driven decision errors

Goals and Objectives

FDP’s climate-smart agriculture initiative aimed to:

Primary Goals:
  • Improve resource-use efficiency (seed, water, fertilizer, fuel)
  • Enhance crop and livestock productivity
  • Support climate change mitigation and adaptation
  • Improve soil health through sustainable cropping systems
  • Enable data-driven farm decision-making
Results & Outcomes
  • Significant improvements in water, seed, and input efficiency
  •  Increased crop and livestock productivity
  •  Reduced climate risk through data-driven advisories
  • Strong participation of women farmers

Demonstrated scalability of climate-smart technologies across regions and crops

Our Approach: Integrated Climate-Smart Agriculture Solutions

FDP deployed precision planters to ensure optimal seed depth, spacing, and plant population.
Verified Outcome:

  • At Cholistan Farms, Raya (rapeseed) was successfully cultivated using 425 grams of seed instead of the recommended 2 kg, achieving over 450% seed efficiency.

High-Efficiency Irrigation Systems equipped with root-zone monitoring were installed to track:

  • Soil moisture
  • Temperature
  • Salinity

These systems irrigate only when required.
Verified Outcomes:

  • Up to 50% reduction in water consumption
  • Reduced fertilizer and fuel use
  • Lower labor requirements
  • Increased average crop yields

Crops grown successfully:
Rhodes grass, rye grass, alfalfa, ispaghol, potato, and wheat
Locations: Cholistan & Rahim Yar Khan

FDP promoted perennial fodder crops such as Rhodes grass, Rye grass, and Alfalfa to improve livestock nutrition and soil health.

Benefits Observed:

  • Reduced livestock feed requirements
  • Improved soil quality and nitrogen fixation
  • Lower methane emissions

Published Study Evidence (“Story of Significant Change”):

  • Rye grass: +2 litres milk/animal/day (average)
  • Rhodes grass: +1.2 litres milk/animal/day (average)
  • 5,200+ farmers reached, with 50% women participation

FDP leveraged IoT devices, satellite imagery, and hyper-localized weather forecasts to support farm decision-making.

Field Evidence (Khanewal):

  • 20,000 farmers registered
  • 6,000 farmers received work-planning advisories
  • Rainfall-based advisories prevented cotton sowing, helping farmers avoid major crop losses
