1 2015/ATCWG/015a Agenda Item: 7 Collaborative Research, Development and Extension on Climate Change among APEC Member Economies - Presentation Purpose: Information Submitted by: Philippines 19 th Agricultural Technical Cooperation Working Group Meeting Iloilo, Philippines September 2015

2 Collaborative Research, Development and Extension (RDE) Program on Climate Change among APEC Member Economies September 2015, APEC Food Security Week ATCWG Date & Venue: September, The Manila Peninsula Jointly funded by: Department of Agriculture System Wide Climate Change Office Department of Agriculture Bureau of Agricultural Research With support from: Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security in Southeast Asia (CCAFS SEA) Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) University of the Philippines Foundation Inc. (UPLBFI) 1

3 Participants Travel Eligible Economies Chile, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam Non Travel Eligible Economies USA Resource Persons International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) University of the Philippines Diliman Marine Science Institute (UPD MSI) Phil based International Organizations International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) The Worldfish Center Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Philippine KOICA Fellows Association, Inc (PhilKOFA) Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) Participants Philippine Delegation/Observers Climate Change Commission (CCC) Department of Agriculture Systems Wide Climate Change Office (DA SWCCO) Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) Philippine Atmoshpheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAG ASA) Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD) University of the Philippines Foundation Inc.

5 ADAPTIVE CAPACITY ADAPTIVE CAPACITY w/ MITIGATION co benefits Low emission agriculture zero tillage organic cultivation reuse/recycle crop & livestock waste peat soils management intermittent irrigation planting of adaptive perennial crops increased feed quality for ruminants 4

6 Gaps, Limitations and Other Issues Lack / scarcity of national resources for RDE on CC Extension and service at local level is not in place due to limited financial support R&D funding is mainly from government R&D topics are dominated by government, not driven by users Improve the availability of human and material resources for RDE in CC Technicians cannot get timely training; their knowledge cannot meet the needs for agricultural development Extensive migration of rural labor (250M people, 80% at age 20 50), difficult to access advanced technologies Lack of Incentives for the implementation of Environmental Adaptation and Mitigation strategies No specific institutional platforms/arrangements for adaptation and mitigation in agricultural sector extreme average temperatures uncontrollable pests & diseases ADAPTATION Integrated pest management Research on optimal physiology of crops & livestock Semi controlled crop & livestock infrastructure Malaysian Raised Goat House Ministry of Agriculture & Extension Malaysia Malaysia can take the lead on these 5

7 ADAPTATION more intense & frequent floods Water requirement of Crops Water management/harvesting Early Warning Systems Thailand and Indonesia can take the lead on this: more intense & frequent droughts Thailand with SEA START program Indonesia with its Integrated Cropping Calendar Delivery Systems ADAPTATION more intense & frequent floods Changes in Cropping Calendar Climate Adaptation Insurance Philippines can take the lead on this: more intense & frequent droughts with its weather based recovery fund and crop insurance risk transfer programs 6

8 sea level rise saltwater intrusion ADAPTATION Appropriate lowland crops Salinity tolerant aquaculture Vietnam can take the lead on these ADAPTATION w/ MITIGATION co benefits increased carbon emissions CSA Low emission agriculture Reduce use of fertilizers, energy and water Chile can take the lead with their technology on Zero tillage Organic farming CHILE: Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions 7

9 ADAPTATION w/ MITIGATION co benefits increased carbon emissions Alternative wet dry rice paddies New fertilizers Reuse/recycle crop & livestock waste China can take the lead with their household and large scale biogas digesters MITIGATION increased carbon emissions Peat Management Indonesia can take the lead 8

10 Overarching RDE Interests Improvement of seasonal climate forecasts Climate Smart Agriculture Knowledge Sharing Mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Inventory of relevant research programs Peer to peer learning Trainings Information and experience sharing Research, comparative analysis Multi hub learning alliance Pilot models Quantifying economic losses 9
