Mindanao Coordinator Marisol Tuso wrote about the need to make food systems and the agriculture sector more sustainable.
As the climate crisis continues to adversely impact agriculture and food systems, women should take more space in making the sector more sustainable and climate-smart. This was emphasized by women leaders, movers, and advocates in the agriculture and food sector during the 25th episode of The Climate Reality Project Philippines’ Klimatotohanan webcast series entitled “Making Women Count: Why Gender Matters in Building Climate-Resilient Food Systems”, where they zeroed in on the interlinkages between gender, climate change, and sustainable food systems.
Team Bicol Umalohokan, composed of Mavic Conde, Rome Candaza, and Apple Allison Perez, received PhP 70,000 to implement a public awareness campaign about farming methods that will make crops more climate-resilient and less dependent on chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
