Resumen
Descripción
Climate change will present significant challenges for the agriculture sector in Asia. Future changes could be highly disruptive to regional rice systems creating potentially negative implications for food security. Building on existing work FAO is undertaking in the Philippines (AMICAF project) and Thailand, FAO produces information and knowledge products for policy makers to better understand climate impacts on the region’s rice productivity and markets, and to better manage climate risks to t he rice sector. Assessments of climate change impacts and policy simulations are aided by modelling frameworks. They provide the evidence needed to inform climate change adaptation planning and policies.We are conducting one region-wide assessment that looks at the role of agricultural investments in rice price volatility, and national assessments for the Philippines (government expenditure and domestic rice market) and Lao PDR (climate impacts on domestic rice yield).
