    • Dear all,

      Q2. Are you conducting any research on the impact of agriculture and environment on food and nutrition security?

      Yes I’m working on linking food security and crop diversification across districts of Sindh. According to my findings though yield is decreasing here but availability is not the issue. Issues lie in the accessibility and adsorption of food and as food inflation and general inflation is rampant as well as no standardization or food protocol about the food quality or preparation is implemented. Moreover, absence of drinking water and sanitation facilities making the conditions worse which not only results in stunting or malnutrition even deaths and losses to the livestock and productivity.

      Climate change is a biggest threat as Sindh is mostly arid and dependent on rain water. Higher temperature and low moisturize with delayed or no rain plays havoc for the people depending on crop production, livestock rearing or fishing.
