Be water-smart

El Niño is usual in the Philippine rice agriculture setting. What makes it different each time is its level of intensity and frequency; thereby, affecting the already heavily challenged rice farmers.

Various studies have been done, some ongoing, to identify best-fit practices in managing the ill effects of this phenomenon. With the available technologies and interventions, farmers and local executives can better manage the expected impacts of El Niño, and are forewarned not to fear the forecast but to be wise.

As several institutions working on climate change say, let’s be “water-smart”
