Crop diversification has opened new avenues for the innovative farmer. This time Amjad tested low tunnel farming and intercropping on his farm with a conventional tinge; he avoided the excessive use of chemicals. Strawberry variety introduced for the first time thrived in the climatic conditions of Beer Valley. The success has taken him a step ahead as he is planning to achieve the status of organic grower in the next 3-4 years. |
[1] Tunnel farming can be used to raise the temperature and protect from wind and heavy rainfall, in Pakistan, it is mostly used to raise the temperature during the cold, winter season. This is the time where fresh produce is either too difficult or too expensive to get,resulting in malnutrition particularly in women and children.
