As part of its caring for water initiative, Nestlé Pakistan in collaboration with University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (UVAS) inaugurated their latest Agricultural Water Efficiency Project at UVAS Ravi Campus, Pattoki.
This initiative is aimed at strengthening Nestlé's vision of improving the agricultural yield in Pakistan and has the potential to save 14.87 million liters of water annually.
One of the major threats Pakistan faces today is water scarcity, with our current per capita annual water availability 1,017 cubic meters. The agriculture sector remains one of the largest and most inefficient users of water hence it is important to focus on increasing the overall efficiency of water use by this sector.
Freda Duplin, CEO, Nestlé Pakistan, said, "Water is a resource which is fast depleting. Nestlé is devoted to working towards helping address the issue adopting collective action, as is envisioned in our caring for water initiative. Our collaboration with UVAS is another step towards that. Agricultural Water Efficiency Project will encourage the preservation of water resources in the long term."
