Sindh Agro Eco System: Major Obstacles and Remedies

Abstract

Sindh southern province of Pakistan at present is faced with a serious food crisis due to population explosion and under-developed state of agriculture The Agro-Eco System of the province is defined as a dynamic association of crops, pastures, livestock, other flora and fauna, atmosphere, soil, and water. The Agro ecosystems are also contained within larger landscapes that include uncultivated land, drainage networks, rural communities, wildlife and markets.

The study contributes significantly in the existing body of knowledge on this subject. The major obstacles within the Agro Ecosystem have been summed up by examining it through in-depth analysis. The secondary data sources have been used. Using both quantitative and qualitative approaches, the study concludes that mismanagements in land distribution and water resources are on high level. Supply of inputs is also inadequate in bowing seasons and needs dire attention of policy makers not for the welfares of the growers, but also for food security of the rapid population. The study also suggests dynamic policy insights for Sindh agriculture sector to meet future economic trends/demands in the sector.
