| dc.description | Around one quarter of the population of Pakistan lives below the national poverty line and 3.9 percent below the international poverty line of USD 1.90/day. Approximately one tenth of the population is undernourished, 15.9 percent of households are moderately or severely food insecure, and 2.4 percent of households are severely food insecure. Pakistan is also faced by a very high level of malnutrition among children and women of reproductive age. The agriculture sector accounts for 19.3 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, with contributions from livestock (60.6 percent), crops (35.2 percent), fisheries (2.1 percent) and forestry (2.1 percent). Besides its significance to the economy, the agriculture sector is pivotal for domestic food availability and self-sufficiency. However, the sector is endangered by such natural disasters as floods, droughts, earthquakes and landslides; a recent locust outbreak was another threat to agriculture production and food security in the country. | |
