Pakistan is an agriculture-based country. Seventy percent population is employed in agriculture, especially in rural Sindh. The farmers get poor yields of crops due to a lack of technical knowledge and the non-availability of required inputs. They cannot also manage natural resources at their disposal and waste the potential. SRSO’s target population is primarily engaged in agricultural activity and therefore, the use and management of natural resources is indispensable to their livelihood. The natural resources that the target population employs are resources such as land, water, soil, plants, and animals. However, they cannot maximize their profits since they cannot manage these resources productively. Natural resource management is concerned with the effective use of these resources with a particular focus on how their use affects the quality of life for both present and future generations.

The NRM section works with COs, VOs, and LSOs with the Government, and UN Agencies such as the FAO and WFP, to link farmers with modern sources of information about such matters as increasing yields in a sustainable manner and reducing environmental impacts. In a changing environment, community members need to know how to improve their agricultural, livestock, poultry, and kitchen gardening outputs sustainably.
