Senator Manuel “Lito” Lapid is seeking to enhance the resiliency and adaptability of Filipino farmers to climate change and equipping them for climate-sensitive decision-making and providing access to localized weather and climate information.
The proposed law, to be known as “Climate-Resilient Agriculture Act” is among the first five measures that Lapid has filed on Monday, July 4 as part of his priority bills in the Senate for the 19th Congress. All five measures have yet to be numbered.
“Our Department of Agriculture must continuously look into innovative ideas and technologies, as well as the best practices, and determine which should be implemented to help our local farmers withstand the challenges brought about by climate change and weather disturbances,” he furtehr said. A crop climate calendar, he said, is defiined as a “visual tool that presents the phenology and cultivation practices of a crop against the timeline of the cropping season, containing information on the weather, and climate states that occur in the locality and the risks faced by the crop per growing stage…”
The said crop climate calendars shall be distributed free-of-charge to all farmers and farmers’ organizations as well as be made available online, including in social media, and similar sites accessible to farmers on demand.
