This study develops and validates an integrated soil–land–climate (SLC) framework to predict farm household income in South Sindh and South Punjab, Pakistan. Using a Multinomial Endogenous Switching Regression (MESR) model, we assess how soil fertility, water scarcity, and climate stress impact agricultural productivity and income. Results show that a one‐unit increase in soil fertility index raises farm income by 1.39 units ( p p p p p r = 0.62, p 8 km from markets yield 3:1 benefit–cost ratios. This study provides evidence for climate adaptation policies in Pakistan by recommending targeted subsidies for drip irrigation, soil amendments, and strengthening of FBOs
