“…83 Almost, 70% of the total population lives in the rural areas and is facing power outages of 18 h in a day 64 whereas the consumption of energy in the agriculture sector is noticed around 12.2% of the total electricity. 84 Energy transition has good prospects in rural areas as an efficient technique for raising the economy of Pakistan. The Government of Pakistan must stabilize the agriculture sector through some measures such as the efficient use of water, subsidized fertilizer price, promotion of high-value crops, crop diversification, agriculture credit enhancement, reduces the markup rates and most importantly the deployment of energy transition technique for supplying cheap and green electricity to households and also for the agritube wells.…”

Climate change threats demand unprecedented economic shifts around the world, including a fundamental transformation of the global energy system. An energy transition is underway in most regions, predominantly in the power sector. This research depicts the energy transition pathway for achieving 100% renewable energy systems through bioenergy in Pakistan. The growth rate of 20%, 30%, and 40% in biomass projects were considered for the study period 2023 to 2053 using the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) software. It presents a technology-rich, multi-sectoral and cost-optimal energy transition pathway for limiting global mean temperature below 1.5 C. The results revealed that Pakistan's electricity generation undergoes a rapidly evolving transition from predominantly fossil fuels 62.1% in 2023 to 81.3% renewables in 2053, and entirely zero CO 2 emissions by 2060. Hydro source is costly, wind and solar sources are seasonal so biomass emerges as the major electricity supply source in a cost optimal energy transition of Pakistan. Share of biomass is increasing from a mere 0.81% in 2023 to around 9.44% by 2053 under the 20% growth rate, which then increase to 39.67% by 2053 under the 30% growth rate and further increases to 78.33% by 2053 under the 40% growth rate. Pakistan contributes 0.8% of the global carbon footprint, but we are among the 10 most climate-stressed countries on the planet in 2023 so this study helps to reduce cumulative CO 2 emissions from 151.63 million metric tons to 8.90 million metric tons from 2023 to 2053 across the power, heat, transport, and desalination sectors.

The main aim of this research is to analyze Pakistan's agricultural and economic implications. This study also sheds light on agricultural challenges and their possible solutions. This article uses time-series data from 1990 to 2020 and is collected from various websites such as the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, Government of Pakistan (GOP), World Development Indicators (WDI). The analysis was performed using ARDL co-integration mode, bound tests, and an error-correction model. The survey results show that cotton exports are negatively or slightly correlated with economic growth. In contrast, Rice and wheat exports have a positive and important link to long-term and short-term economic growth. In addition, there is a one-way relation between agricultural commodities and economic growth such as rice exports. Based on calculated results, this study recommends the governing bodies in Pakistan transform agricultural exports into value-added products, stimulate private investment, and improve traditional agricultural production techniques to bring about structural changes in agricultural exports.

“…In order to develop the agriculture sector to reap its multiple benefits, each country in the world plans to facilitate their farming communities. In the context of facilitation, extension advisory services are augmented obligatory, effective and ever needs for the farmers (Hayat et al, 2019). There are various case studies round the world where countries have gone through the transitions in extension services to develop the farming and farmers.…”

Comparative effectiveness of agricultural advisory services rendered by public and private sectors in the Punjab, Pakistan

Public and private extension sectors are meant to effectively disseminate agricultural technologies among farmers in order to improve the living standards of farmers through adoption of site specific and improved technologies. This study was conducted in 2018 to explore the effectiveness of Agricultural Advisory Service rendered by the public and private sectors in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Total 400 farmers, purposively selected from the two tehsils (sub-districts) of Multan District were interviewed through the face-to-face interview technique on a structured and pre-tested interview schedule. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyse the collected data. T-test was the key technique used to compare the two sectors. The results show that one-fourth (25.5%) of respondents had acquaintance with the Extension Field Staff (EFS) of the private sector as compared to 15.5% of respondents knowing about the public sector EFS by face only. Regarding contact, one-fifth (19.9%) of the respondents made a contact with the EFS of public sector twice a month while in contrast, more than half (53.1%) of respondents contacted EFS of private sector twice a month. The performance of the public sector (x̅=2.50±1.902) regarding the safe use of pesticides was comparatively better than private sector (x̅ =2.08±1.824). Farmers were more satisfied with the private sector in context of getting advisory services about harvesting of crops (x̅ =1.88±1.604) as compared to the public sector (x̅ =1.62±1.597). Study concluded that services provided by private EFS were comparatively effective as compared to public sector for many reasons. The study urges more development and institutionalization to the public sector in order to improve the performance of the public sector in best interest of farming communities.
