  • Climate change

    attributed mostly to the changes in temperature, changes in precipitation, sea level rise and the melting of ice and snow in the Northern hemisphere

  • Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

    IPCC

  • 62.7%

    damages incurred to agriculture sector by Climate change

  • 463 billion

    economical damage due to extreme weather events over the past decades

  • Land, Labor, Capital

    factors of production

  • Small and fragmented farm land

    Growing rural population - attributed to the declining farm sizes

  • republic act 6657, august 10, 1988

    CARP republic act

  • Comphrehensive aggrarian reform program

    aggravated the fragmentation of farm land

  • Rampang coversion of arable land

    attributed to the slow growth of the agricultural sector • country’s arable land estimates at 12.44 million ha

  • Declining manpower in agriculture

    diminishing farm size and declining relative income incentivized the shift out of number of workers in agriculture

  • Limited capital resources

    62% (estimates) of small farmers and fisherfolk able to borrow from formal sources (Galang 2020). • a significant proportion of other small farmers and fisherfolk resorted to self finance

  • Because of lesser processing time, minimal documentary requirement, and timely release of the loan

    why did farmers resort to informal lender

  • Due to high interest rate, long processing time, and a collateral or a guarantor requirement

    why did farmers resort self finance

  • Geographical location

    Philippine - one of the world’s most natural disaster-prone countries • due to its vulnerability to high incidence typhoons, floods, landslides and droughts • coastal communities dependent on fisheries and aquaculture - vulnerable to rising sea levels, storm surges, and saltwater intrusions • lead to the destruction of aquatic resources

  • Lack of post harvest facilities

    • crop losses of farmers are mostly due to postharvest losses • largely attributed to poor private and public investment in infrastructure • This includes: • lack of storage facilities • equipment to inhibit losses due to pests and natural deterioration

  • Limited connectivity

    • Lack of quality rural transport (i.e., farm-to-market road) → discourages farmers from increasing production • Lack of access to information on production technologies → limits the adoption by farmers of new and value-adding technologies

  • Natural resources degradation

    • expansion of agricultural lands → attributed to the declining forest cover and biodiversity • Anthropogenic threats to fisheries
