By working directly with growers across Pakistan and beyond, we bring a way of farming field-tested over two decades: built on the natural algorithms of soil fertility and plant protection, and already adopted by hundreds of thousands of farmers. Our position across Food, Feed, Fiber and Timber production lets us take PQNK from one working plot to the next, crop by crop.

Nature's Wisdom for Abundant and Nutrient-Dense Food Production by Rebuilding Living Soil
PQNK is not a product you buy. It is a living system you build: soil so alive it feeds your crops season after season, with no synthetic inputs, and produce that is more nutritious for it.
Break the Hardpan
Open the compacted layer once, so roots and water reach deep.
Permanent Raised Beds
A fixed growing zone that is never compacted again.
Cover & Mulch
Grow Jantar, cut it in place, and let biomass feed the soil.
No-Till Planting
Seed straight through the mulch, never disturbing the living soil.
Living Soil
Microbial life converts the soil's own minerals into nutrition.
What We Do
One regenerative system, working across every stage from soil to market.
Grow
Field-tested PQNK methods that raise yield and quality without raising input cost.

Pronounced “picnic”: short for Paedar Qudratti Nizam Kashatqari, the Sustainable Natural System of Cultivation.
PQNK is a natural ecosystem science of production agriculture, developed and field-tested by Pedaver across more than twenty crops in Pakistan's diverse growing regions, from the wheat belts of Punjab to the citrus orchards of Sargodha.
Instead of treating soil as a growing medium to be dosed with synthetic inputs, PQNK works with the rhizosphere, soil microbiology and plant energy cycles to rebuild productive soil, cut input costs and improve fruit and grain quality.
The result, documented across hundreds of farmer videos: lower cost of production, stronger plants, and produce that keeps longer, all without abandoning commercial-scale output.
The PQNK Transition
From a Degraded Field to a Self-Sustaining System
Every PQNK conversion follows the same fixed sequence, regardless of crop: a degraded starting point, an active regenerative phase, and a permanent closed-loop end state.
Stage 1
ACI — Ancient Conventional Industrial
The starting condition on nearly every field Pedaver takes on: decades of repeated tillage and synthetic fertilizer that have compacted the subsoil into a hardpan and stripped the soil of biological life. Yield holds only as long as the inputs keep coming, and the cost of holding it there keeps climbing.
Stage 2
Regenerative Phase
PQNK's active transition: the hardpan is fractured once, permanent raised beds are formed, Jantar cover cropping and organic mulch rebuild soil biology, and no-till planting through the mulch, via the SIPP and VIPP planters, lets the field recover, season by season, without repeating the disturbance.
Stage 3
Closed-Loop, Self-Sustaining State
The ultimate sustained state PQNK is built to reach: no external fertilizer, pesticide, or amendment enters the field again after the transition. Fertility, pest management, and water regulation are handled internally, by the restored ecosystem itself, indefinitely.
PQNK does not grow crops. PQNK grows soil that grows crops.

Crop GuideOnion & Garlic
Documented yields of 250–300 mounds (10,000–12,000 kg) of Dessi garlic per acre, with minimal input costs and revenue reported several times higher than conventional flat-field cultivation — market price fluctuates, but yield, quality, and cost stay firmly in the grower's favour. Produce with lower water content also stores far longer with less spoilage.
