3. Achievements: Work-in-Progress Toba Take Sing (1908-23): developed public service schools and achieved highest literacy level in rural Pakistan Pakpattan(1959-74): used and showcased tube-wells, tractors, implements and crop production on commercial lines Pakpattan(1974-80): Precision land-leveling, furrow irrigation systems using siphon tubes Adoption of newer crop production processes & their mechanization Training of tractor operators, farm managers & laborers Developed collective farming concept involving landless based on: Leased land Tenancy Crop sharing against inputs and services Highest income in area;highest land-lease value

4. 1981-2006: introduction, marketing, assembly, production, design and development of farm machinery: Ford & Ursustractors, New Holland harvesting machinery, Toftsugarcane harvesters, Case IH cotton pickers, Spectra Physics laser-leveling, Butler silos & prefabricated buildings ... 2006 – 2008: adoption, development & mechanization of innovative System of Crop Intensification (SCI): Mechanized SRI to transplant rice in dry soil that saved over 70% of water & other inputs, increasing yield by 4 times (..ore w LessRISRI Short.wmv) Adapted and showcased SCI for many other crops Training given to TEVTA trainers and farmers Crop production advisory activities 2009-onward : All the above and unification of three diverse technologies, i.e. System of Crop Intensification (SCI), Organic Farming (OF), and Conservation Agriculture (CA) in cooperation with Cornell University and FAO CA network Achievements: Work-in-Progress

5. Integrated Approach to Agriculture Agricultural productivity depends fundamentally on the sustained FERTILITY of soil systems and on the SUFFICIENCY of productive resources – land, water, labor and capital Short-term and long-term success depend essentially upon the EFFECTIVE, PROFITABLE and SUSTAINABLE application of these resources Soil systems involve more than chemical aspects (nutrients and pH); also physical aspects (soil structure, water-holding capacity) and biological aspects (the life in the soil!) Agriculture thus depends on more than INPUTS (chemical, mechanical, etc.) but also on their MANAGEMENT -- to combine these inputs in productive and sustainable ways

6. Integrated Approach to Agriculture Mechanization is a means to several ends, but cannot be divorced from other elements of management Aim is to increase, concurrently, the productivity of land, labor, capital and especially water This is possible with SRI/SCI methods by mobilizing the contributions of beneficial soil biota (bacteria, fungi, etc.) Permanent raised beds are a key innovation in this strategy for raising land and labor productivity Also laser-leveling for most efficient use of water Community/shared use addresses the human/social element

7. Appreciations of Integrated Approach Cornell University “Your impending harvest of Mechanized Version of SRI Rice on this large scale will be like a Tsunami for SRI.” FAO “One of my objectives is to see SRI practice integrated with Conservation Agriculture, and with your help we should be able to do that.” PARC “… efforts done by your Company have surpassed all the work done in the past.”
