From Subsistence to Success: The Story of Farmer Ahmed in Punjab
For years, Ahmed from southern Punjab relied on traditional wheat farming, barely earning enough to sustain his family. Things changed when he attended a local agricultural training program and learned about drip irrigation and high-yield wheat seeds.
By adopting drip irrigation, Ahmed reduced water usage by 40% while doubling his yield. With improved profits, he expanded into vegetables such as tomatoes and onions, supplying them to local markets. Today, Ahmed mentors nearby farmers and is a model of how innovation can transform livelihoods.
📌 Lesson: Access to modern techniques and willingness to adapt can change farming from survival to a thriving business.
