rising temperatures, drought, water stress, typhoons and rising sea levels (OECD, 2024e). Difficulties to expand lead periodically to spikes in the prices of this politically sensitive commodity. temperatures have hurt rice yields in the Philippines, even for modern varieties of rice that were specifically agriculture through various channels. The country's farming activities are highly dependent on the availability of water, especially irrigated rice and sugarcane, and rainfed production of coconut, corn and cassava. The intrusion of saltwater into the groundwater sources has affected the water supply for agricultural production, and farmers reported an increased incidence of plant infestation during dry spells (World Bank, 2022). Activities in agriculture suffer also from extreme meteorological events like typhoons and El Nino. Overall, While these measures enhance agricultural resilience, addressing the social impact of post-disaster recoveries
