Crisis-resilient Rice Farming
Filipino rice farmers have been going through many challenges to produce the country’s main staple – rice. We have the changing climate and the need to adapt and mitigate as agriculture is one of its biggest victims; loss of arable lands; economic pressures such as trade liberalization and increased competition; and now the need to be food-sufficient as we battle against an invisible enemy – COVID-19. This issue of the PhilRice magazine highlights stories of resilience through these challenges as we move toward our vision “Rice-Secure Philippines.”
