Tofiq Pasha is a dynamic individual and to sum up his personality and work in a couple of paragraphs is not an easy task. Working for a sustainable environment is synonymous with his name. To put it in his own words “caring for the environment is in my genes and is similar to a computer default system.” His parents were very much into gardening and things related to flowers and he picked up on all this and it turned into a passion for him. The shift from the city of Karachi to its rural area by his parents where he still lives in a farmhouse has also played an important role as he always kept close to nature. 

Having a genetic default system that is so passionate about Mother Nature, her sustainability and future, it is no surprise that Tofiq is working on a number of environment related fronts. The highlight of all his projects is that he targets grass roots level issues and their solutions. This is something that gets ignored by a majority who tend to concentrate only on the tip of the iceberg.

Food security, water, environment, children, women and landscaping are his major interests around which his projects revolve. His landscaping career is spread over twenty five years during which he has undertaken a number of major high profile projects. Apart from this he has hosted three regular shows on television; Go camping with Pasha, Kitchen Garden and Bagh Baani. Apart from these he regularly appears in different television and radio shows as a guest. 

His activities don’t stop here. He is a member of a number of boards that work on environmental issues. Through these forums he advises a number of NGOs who are working in this line. He organizes events on his farmhouse on a regular bases especially for children so that they can experience nature in person. However, these events are not just limited to this age group.
