KNP Farming Systems Survey
DATA - EXAMPLES

The main objective of the Farming Systems (FS) group was to assemble a description of farming in the Khirthar - the classical, typical questions: what happens; who does it; when, where, how and why?

The study is based on a variety of information and data including field interviews with farmers and key rural informants, official statistics, maps, transects, discussions and observation. Examples of the data collected are provided here. As always, these should be interpreted with caution. The intention was to paint a broad picture of farming in the Park, rather than a detailed analysis.
