A farmer living in the middle of an un-harvested rice field in the village of New Antique in M’lang, North Cotabato attempts to extract drinking water from a dwindling water source due to the dry spell. Greenpeace calls on the national and local governments to adopt and support policies and programs to help transition the country’s farming system towards a more climate-resilient ecological agriculture. Government should equip farmers with timely and localized weather information and an early warning system to enable farmers to plan well. This early information system should be coupled with programs on how farmers could plant diverse crops, raise farm animals, and develop livelihood strategies.
