Abstract :

This paper reviewed the process of developing the Climate Resilient Agriculture Adaptation and Mitigation Initiative in Agriculture (CRA AMIA) as a strategic program approaches in responding to climate changes with a vision of a Philippine agriculture and fisheries sector that enabled local communities to cope with climate risks while pursuing sustainable resilient livelihoods. The paper aimed to understand the different project interventions such as technologies and practices, institutional and social innovations and accessing climate-relevant support services (e.g. community’s heath, policies, etc.) and drew some lessons learned by the farmer stakeholders and determined challenges brought by this irrevocable event in the project site. Researchers found out that communities’ coordination, linkages institutional mechanisms, climate farmers field schools(CRFS), access to health services, information to climate services and policies are significant factors in making farming communities adapted to climate changes and minimize their risks to climate hazards. Finally, stronger linkages and policy reforms and communities coordination are needed between the farming organizations and government agencies facilitating and supporting CRAs and suppliers of climate information, particularly addressing the translation of climate change information and services to the community level.
