Climate change is a serious global concern that is considered to be a major threat to agriculture. Extreme floods and droughts, soil degradation, water shortages, and increased occurrence of destructive pests and diseases as a result of climate change adversely affect agricultural productivity and consequently, food security. These disasters also cost the country approximately PhP145 billion per year until 2050 (IFPRI, 2016). Out of 180 countries, the Philippines ranks 9^th among the highest disaster risk indices worldwide (World Risk Report, 2019), which is a slight improvement from the previous years but nevertheless a call to strengthen the country’s climate change coping and adaptation measures.

With climate change, agriculture is much more erratic and riskier for farmers and fisherfolk. Farm level decisions cannot anymore be based solely on farmers’ past experiences. Through science and technology (S&T) interventions, farmers and other stakeholders shall be equipped with better decision making tools (e.g. what and when to plant) thereby reducing or avoiding crop loss due to extreme events. Moreover, alternative rehabilitation strategies aid in increasing the resiliency and adaptability of farmers and communities to changes in climate. The introduction of these strategies coupled with advanced and smart technologies shall help producers make informed and reliable farm level management decisions to cope with the climate change risks.
