K-P Farmers Struggle as Climate Change Threatens Crops

Mountainous regions in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) are home to agricultural families who heavily rely on seasonal fruit production for their livelihood. However, the looming threat of climate change is disrupting this delicate balance, particularly impacting the cultivation of the prized strawberry cash crop in Charsadda.

As climate change alters rainfall patterns in K-P, these vulnerable communities face the grim reality of devastated crops due to shifting monsoon seasons. The once reliable source of income from fruit production is now at risk, leaving many families struggling to survive.

The unique challenges faced by these underdeveloped mountainous terrains highlight the urgent need for sustainable solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change. Without intervention, the agricultural families in K-P are at risk of losing not only their crops but also their means of sustenance.
