Figure 1. Strategic Actions on Food Security for 2011-2028 Lifted from NCCAP Technical Document, 2011 The ability to provide adaptation measures that are well targeted and site-specific to the Philippine’s food production sector is currently lacking which may be due to the lack of scientific information on vulnerability and adaptation technologies. Given this, the NCCAP identified several activities that will enhance the knowledge on the vulnerability of agriculture and fisheries. First step in enhancing the knowledge on food production sector’s vulnerability is through the “conduct of provincial-level vulnerability and risk assessments for agriculture and fisheries. In this assessment, “site-specific adaptation and mitigation interventions including the research and development agenda to test technologies and measures will be identified”. As of November 2011, various studies have been conducted on vulnerability and risk assessments. According to the Inventory of Methods for Climate Change Adaptation Project, a total of 40 studies have been conducted so far which covered coastal and farming communities, crop specific studies on rice and corn, and assessment of various watersheds found in the country. The Philippines Research and Development Agenda in support of the NCCAP, did an initial scoping of researches that might be classified under food security from the government agencies and found out that food security, is ranked second with approximately 160 researches – with Mindanao having the most number of researches. The following are some of the examples on technical physical researches conducted: CBMS-FAO | 3
