Climate-smart agriculture ensures food security
Pakistan falls among the most vulnerable countries to climate change, with the phenomenon being felt in every field of life, affecting water and food production globally. This man-made challenge has pressed the world to mull over various means and methods to try and contain it, including Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) to manage crops naturally and effectively.
Extreme weather patterns and events, droughts, heat waves, floods, food insecurity and other challenges posed by the changing climate threaten world economies and production, and Pakistan is no exception.
The Chairman of Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (PARC) Dr Ghulam Mohammad Ali, remarked "Climate-Smart Agriculture practices are vital and should be initiated in the country to improve crop yield". "Presently, a few farmers are using CSA but we need to promote these practices and technology on a broader scale."

Clarification by PARC
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (PARC) has strongly denied allegations questioning the merit of its recent scientific recruitments, calling them baseless and misleading. A PARC spokesperson stated that scientists were hired purely on merit from across all provinces, with many being gold medalists and experts in modern agricultural technologies. The council clarified that converting non-scientific roles to scientific positions was within the Chairman's authority and aimed at enhancing research capacity. Under Chairman Dr. Ghulam Muhammad Ali, PARC has secured over Rs. 10 billion in international grants and received global recognition, including awards from Pakistan and South Korea. The council is actively collaborating with countries like China, the US, Japan, and Korea to bring advanced technologies to Pakistan. With 40 research centers nationwide, PARC is leading work in crops, fisheries, livestock, biotechnology, and seed conservation. The spokesperson said corruption claims are being spread by dismissed employees and assured legal action will be taken. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025

Course begins on developing CSA using nuclear, isotopic techniques
ISLAMABAD: Aimed at combating the effects of climate change on agriculture by adopting Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices, a 10-day-long course on developing CSA using nuclear and isotopic techniques in Pakistan commenced on Monday at the National Agriculture Research Council (NARC). The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in collaboration with the Pakistan government, is organising this course through the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC). The Nuclear Institute for Agriculture and Biology (NIAB), Faisalabad being the premier agriculture research institute of the PAEC is the organiser of the training course. Speaking at the inaugural session, PAEC Chairman Dr Raja Ali Raza Anwar emphasised the urgency of adopting sustainable agricultural techniques to tackle climate challenges. 'Two subjects are very close to my heart: nuclear medicine and agriculture,' he stated. 'Climate change is taking a heavy toll on our crops and their yields. If we do not shift from conventional farming methods and adopt modern technologies like drip irrigation, research shows that Pakistan could see a 50 per cent decline in crop yields by 2050.' Dr Anwar also pointed to recent extreme weather events, including a destructive hailstorm in the capital, as indicators of a changing climate. He stressed the importance of tree plantation to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate rising temperatures. Dr Mohammad Zaman, Section Head of the Soil, Water Management and Crop Nutrition Programme at the IAEA in Vienna, also addressed the gathering. He warned that, due to climate change, countries around the world would need to increase food production by 80 percent to 100 percent to meet future demands. He commended Pakistan's success in combating salinity, noting it as a key reason for choosing the country to host the course. He said that the world is facing unprecedented challenges including water scarcity, soaring temperatures, and contamination by microplastics — which studies now show have made their way into human DNA. This training programme is designed to tackle these issues through modern scientific approaches and knowledge-sharing among international experts, he said. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025

Planet k2-18b: Strongest signs of extraterrestrial life found on distant planet

Madhusudhan (Cambridge University) Listen to article Astronomers have found what they describe as the strongest evidence yet of possible life beyond the solar system, following the detection of key chemical signatures in the atmosphere of a distant exoplanet. A team led by Professor Nikku Madhusudhan at the University of Cambridge used the James Webb Space Telescope to identify dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) in the atmosphere of K2-18 b, a planet 124 light years from Earth. Both compounds on Earth are almost exclusively associated with biological processes, particularly marine life. 'This is the strongest evidence to date for biological activity beyond the solar system,' said Madhusudhan, while cautioning that the findings are not definitive proof of life. 'We have to question ourselves both on whether the signal is real and what it means.' The presence of DMS and DMDS was observed with a statistical confidence level of 'three-sigma', indicating a 0.3% probability that the results are due to chance – strong, but below the gold standard in physics. K2-18 b, orbiting within the habitable zone of a red dwarf star in the Leo constellation, has long been considered a candidate for habitability. The planet is 2.6 times larger than Earth and nine times more massive. Scientists previously believed it could harbour a deep ocean. Follow-up observations now suggest the atmospheric conditions may be suitable for life, though the exact nature of the planet remains debated. Some experts suggest K2-18 b could instead be a gas planet or one with magma oceans. Dr Nora Hänni from the University of Berne noted that DMS was also detected on a lifeless comet, urging caution. 'We would have to strictly rule out all other options before claiming life,' she said. Still, the results mark a major step forward in exoplanet research. 'It's mind-boggling that this is possible,' said Madhusudhan. 'Decades from now, we may look back at this moment as the point when the living universe came within reach.' The findings have been published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
