ABSTRACT

The Philippines, being located in the Asian region that is frequently visited by typhoons, is considered to be one of the most vulnerable countries to hazards brought about by bad weather conditions. With an increasing frequency of stronger typhoons coupled with severe flooding during rainy seasons and prolonged drought conditions during dry seasons caused by climate change, the Philippine agricultural sector continue to suffer heavy losses, estimated to be about Php37B or US$728M between 2017-2018 alone (DA 2019). To lessen the adverse effects of changing climate in the agricultural sector, science-based technologies and solutions such as satellite remote sensing, weather monitoring and forecasting, drones, multispectral imaging, integrated crop and pest and disease management, soil and water management, and crop modeling suited to the farms in the local communities are being tested by Project SARAI (Smarter Approaches to Reinvigorate Agriculture as an Industry in the Philippines). This paper describes how these technologies and solutions are being utilized in the Philippines to help local farmers reduce their risks to climate related hazards.
