This project aims to strengthen the food systems of rural communities in Northern Luzon and Eastern Visayas, Philippines, who are highly vulnerable to climate change and food insecurity. It focuses on empowering women and marginalized groups, particularly female farmers, to lead in climate adaptation and disaster resilience within agri-food systems by: 1) boosting gender-responsive, disaster and climate resilient food production, 2) building capacity of community members, particularly women on disaster risk resilience in agri-food systems, and 3) strengthening linkages among local authorities and communities in implementing gender-responsive and climate resilient disaster risk management for agri-food systems.. The program will leverage Canadian and Filipino expertise to create sustainable solutions, benefiting 15,000 direct beneficiaries and influencing broader policy and knowledge.
