Food Security
Ensuring availability, stability, accessibility,
and affordability of safe and healthy food
The NCCAP identified Food Security (FS) as a
strategic priority due to the country’s
dependency on the agriculture sector, and its
innate vulnerability to climate risks and natural
hazards. Ten percent (PHP 17.7 billion) of the
approved climate budget in 2016 addresses
Food Security. This represents a 21% increase
compared to 2015. As of FY 2016, the DA had
climate expenditures in both of the two FS
outcome areas (Table 4), as it did in FY 2015.
Some support was also provided by the DFA,
but this was very minimal (less than 0.02% of
FS climate expenditures).
