#APAProject | The Department of Agriculture, as the primary executing entity of the USD 39.2 million Adapting Philippine Agriculture to Climate Change (APA) Project, which is anchored on the Adaptation Mitigation Initiative in Agriculture (AMIA) Program approach, collaborated this week with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations to conduct a series of regional workshops, planning sessions, and field validations prior to project implementation.
Region XII activities include courtesy visits to DA XII Regional Executive Director Roberto T. Perales and Cotabato Province Governor Emmylou “Lala” Taliño-Mendoza, whose province will benefit from the APA project based on the four pillars of qualification.
The APA project aims to transform the Philippine agricultural system from one of high vulnerability to one of climate resilience by improving farmers’ capacity to develop Climate-Resilient Agriculture (CRA) enterprises, promoting the adoption of financially and economically viable CRA practices, and training the government and private sector to build support systems for scaling up.
