Shaheen Pedaver proposes developing underutilized farmland by laser leveling the land, making raised beds, and adopting sustainable crop production techniques. A joint venture called Shaheen Pedaver would pay annual lease amounts to the Shaheen Foundation to farm the land. Steps would include precision land leveling, installing irrigation infrastructure, soil testing, applying compost and planting crops in rotation. The goal is to recruit ex-servicemen and provide training to small farmers to improve local agriculture.

9. Wheat Plantation on Raised Beds as of Jan 18, 2010 Irrigation in furrows only

10. Advantages ofPermanent Raised Beds No tillage Provides moist soil to plants NOT saturated – consistent growth Controlled traffic compact furrows to reduce water seepage Biota fosters in raised beds which is like a food factory for plants Soil cover reduces requirements of other inputs to ZERO after few crops Reduce water requirements by 70% due to little evaporation & NO accumulation of salts

11. Integrated Approach to Agriculture Agricultural productivity depends fundamentally on the sustained FERTILITY of soil systems and on the SUFFICIENCY of productive resources – land, water, labor and capital Short-term and long-term success depend essentially upon the EFFECTIVE, PROFITABLE and SUSTAINABLE application of these resources Soil systems involve more than chemical aspects (nutrients and pH); also physical aspects (soil structure, water-holding capacity) and biological aspects (the life in the soil!) Agriculture thus depends on more than INPUTS (chemical, mechanical, etc.) but also on their MANAGEMENT -- to combine these inputs in productive and sustainable ways

12. Integrated Approach to Agriculture Mechanization is a means to several ends, but cannot be divorced from other elements of management Aim is to increase, concurrently, the productivity of land, labor, capital and especially water This is possible with SRI/SCI methods by mobilizing the contributions of beneficial soil biota (bacteria, fungi, etc.) Permanent raised beds are a key innovation in this strategy for raising land and labor productivity Also laser-leveling for most efficient use of water Community/shared use addresses the human/social element

14. Appreciations of Integrated Approach Cornell University “Your impending harvest of Mechanized Version of SRI Rice on this large scale will be like a Tsunami for SRI.” FAO “One of my objectives is to see SRI practice integrated with Conservation Agriculture, and with your help we should be able to do that.” “This is absolutely great! Wishing you every success. Please keep me informed on your progress.” PARC “… efforts done by your Company have surpassed all the work done in the past.” “ … all this technology go as a commercial product so that everyone get the benefit.” Customer - Olympia Group CEO Mr. Khurshid Monnoo “ … ever since I am using your machines nothing else appeals to me.”

23. Clearing Water Courses and trees to Make Bigger Fields

24. Laser leveling

25. Land Preparation

26. Field is ready for cropping

27. Best Level Check is by water … flowing water through shallow Furrows 10 Acre field is Zero Leveled using Laser Leveling Instruments Laser Leveling System is much advanced and saves substantial cost and time.

28. Pedaver Team

30. Pkr. 15,000 per acre for the 2nd year of cropping at the yearend

31. Pkr. 20,000 per acre for the 3rd year of cropping at the yearend

33. Shaheen Pedaverwill provide quality farm produce mostly grown organically at a reasonable price to PAF and Shaheen Foundation bases.

34. Shaheen Pedaverwill run Farmers Training Centre as part of national obligation.

35. Shaheen Pedaverwill provide farm machinery and quality inputs on credit to the small farmers located in the vicinity.

37. It may be noted that land development is a costly operation, which enhances asset value manifolds, it is therefore required that a land is long leased to recover the investments.

39. Site Plan to define, leveling map, space allocation for tube-wells, water reservoir, water courses, farm access roads, crop production areas, tree plantation etc.
