Synopsis (short abstract) Based on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007b), changing climate is projected to have a number of impacts, including possible water shortages, decreased agricultural production and food security. With these considerations a joint project undertaking was forged with the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Assessments of Climate Change Impacts and Mapping of Vu lnerability to Food Insecurity under Climate Change to Strengthen Household Food Security with Livelihoods’ Adaptation Approaches (AMICAF) with the cooperation of the University of Cantabria in Spain. The project aims to assess vulnerability of households to food insecurity through the use of a tool called MOSAICC.

This project supports the Government of the Philippines in efforts to conserve the country’s globally important agrobiodiversity and traditional agroecosystems. The project comprised three interlinked components: mainstreaming agrobiodiversity into policy and legal frameworks; piloting activities to expand dynamic conservation practices in three pilot communities; and disseminating learning and preparing for scaling up. The project aligned strongly with Philippines Government, FAO and GEF priorities, and impressive progress was made on policy objectives. There was less progress in enhancing dynamic conservation practices for agrobiodiversity in the pilot communities. Recommendations focused on developing a successful exit strategy, capturing experience effectively, and carrying out a systems review for future FAO-supported agrobiodiversity projects.

Concluding workshop of the Pilot Project on National Food Safety Indicators in the Philippines
Workshop report
2020

To understand the current food safety issues as well as some of the key challenges existing in the Philippines, a pilot project entitled Development of National Food Safety Indicators with a One Health Approach was implemented by the Philippine College of Veterinary Public Health for the Government of the Philippines. After pilot-testing these indicators with a baseline assessment, interventions and a post-intervention assessment, a one-day conclusion workshop was held on 27 February 2020. The workshop was attended by eighty-six people from national stakeholders including governmental agencies, academia, industry, non-governmental organizations, and international organizations. During the workshop, participants agreed that systematic food safety reporting and survey systems involving local governments significantly improves the public trust and at the same time, contributes to consolidate science-based national data. All stakeholders agreed that development of a set of common food safety messages developed collaboratively is effective, rather than having different pieces from each different agency. The workshop was concluded with the agreement that developing a complete set of national food safety indicators would be beneficial for the country, and the government agencies have been keen to mainstream this initiative into the regular programmes in the future.
