In the last phase of the project, we will hold a workshop to disseminate the project results and transfer the knowledge to the research community in Pakistan. The proposed project will create the platform for the local research communities in Pakistan sharing the mutual goal in finding ways [...] the project also contributes to Goal 2: Zero hunger with the aim of providing nutritious food for all and generating a decent income. Complying with this goal, we focus on the methodology and the results that will benefit small-scale food producers. Accordingly, our project supports the achievement of the target 2.3 “By 2030, double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers”
External cooperation is another important aspect of the scientific work at ARI. ARI conducts curiosity-driven basic research that is implemented in an application-oriented manner.
