Farming, a high-effort and low-income profession, has become one of the most neglected career paths. Pakistan’s agriculture sector is suffering badly. While natural disasters certainly play a role, the lack of modernization and awareness is dragging it down even further.
Sounds cool? Good. Because Pakistan’s fields aren’t just drying up from climate change they’re facing a youth drought. Farming is still seen as waking up at 5 a.m. and ploughing fields.

Small videos on hydroponics, farm-to-table journeys, and smart irrigation methods. Over 64% of Pakistanis youth is under the age of 30 and 29%of youth falling between the ages of 15 to 29 years.
