100,000 Acres

Seeding Good

With over 2 million acres of land destroyed by the floods, Pakistan is going through an agricultural crisis which will have disastrous impact on food security in Pakistan and abroad. Expanding on our Kissan Dost Program, Rizq is on a mission to rehabilitate 100,000 acres of farmland to not only mitigate the looming threat, but to empower small-holder farmers and make them climate resilient.

On-ground Situation

Magnitude of the Problem

An agricultural emergency has been declared across the country, after flooding in the eastern rivers have targeted Pakistan’s breadbasket: Punjab. Heavier than expected rainfall has made the situation worse, and we are now standing at the brink of massive food insecurity and loss of livelihoods in the coming year.

Why This Deserves Your Attention

Wheat is sown in Punjab over the next 6 weeks. Across numerous areas, the floods have left behind inches of debris, which has left the land unsuited for any kind of cultivation.

If the situation is not taken care of in time for wheat farming, Pakistan will see massive inflation and food shortages. Global markets will also feel the impact.

Trapped in a Debt Cycle

Small-holder Farmer
Crisis: Explained

For smallholder farmers, the destruction of farmland is catastrophic. The crops they grow are both their source of income and their source of food. With no harvest to sell or consume, they face immediate hunger.

To restart farming, many farmers are forced into borrowing from predatory lenders at exorbitant interest rates. The agricultural inputs provided in these arrangements are often adulterated or substandard, resulting in weak yields that trap farmers in a cycle of debt and poverty.

Scaling Our Impact Further

How Our Intervention Will Help?

After the floods of 2022, Rizq launched the Kissan Dost Program aimed to empower small-holder farmers and break debt cyclic by providing zero interest loans in the form of high-quality agricultural inputs. The program targets the most vulnerable - those with less than 5 acres of land.
