Synopsis (short abstract) El Niño, which swept the Philippines from 2015 to 2016, had a significant impact on agricultural production and food security. The project aimed to restore agriculture-based livelihoods of drought-affected farmers in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and the Region XII, where a state of calamity was declared in four provinces. The project provided relevant agricultural inputs to the most affected and most vulnerable farm households and technical assistance through capacity building of the relevant institutions, extension workers and farmers in building resilience to shocks, effective drought management and more robust monitoring and forecasting systems.

    Improving productivity of tilapia farmers in the Philippines - TCP/PHI/3502 2017
    Also available in:
    Tilapia is the most consumed farmed fish in the Philippines, with an average yearly consumption of 4.6 kg per person, yet the tilapia farming sector has declined by 35 percent in the last eight years, due to climate-induced challenges. Thus there is a considerable threat not only to the livelihoods of farmers and fisherfolk, but also to the country’s food security. This project sought to provide innovative knowledge and technical services and products to farmers in order to increase the resilien ce of the tilapia farming sector to climate or weather risks.
