Bank Alfalah plays role to promote climate-smart agriculture
Bank
Alfalah, a leading commercial Bank in Pakistan and SAWiE, a digital platform
offering smart farm advisory services to smallholder farmers have joined hands
to promote climate-smart agriculture practices within Pakistan.
Both the
organizations have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in the
connection.

villages, promoting climate-smart agriculture technologies, and developing
innovative approaches to serving farmers through regular advisory services and
training.
