Poverty, marginalization, and vulnerability are key issues in mountainous areas of Pakistan, especially in rural areas, where the bulk of the population lives and is primarily dependent on agriculture for food and livelihoods . These issues are particularly severe in the country's most remote northern mountain region, where isolated communities, rugged terrain, and ecological fragility make agricultural production difficult and where difficulties of access to markets and services contribute to widespread chronic poverty. Rapid socioeconomic and environmental changes, including climate change, have further contributed to the challenge of food insecurity in the mountain areas of Pakistan.
