In M’Lang, North Cotabato, rice grains failed to reach maturity due to insufficient irrigation and intense heat due to El Niño.
Greenpeace is asking the government to provide short- and long-term support to farmers affected by El Niño and to provide support to farmers transitioning from conventional to ecological farming. The government should also implement programs or long-term solutions that will respond to the effects and impacts of climate change, including on food security.
