For more than four decades, FAO has been working with the Government of the Philippines, civil society, community-based organizations and the private sector to address challenges in the agriculture, fisheries and forestry sector. Joint efforts have included increasing sustainability in agricultural production, promoting value-adding practices, improving post-harvest management, enhancing productivity and increasing the resilience of agriculture-based livelihoods to natural disasters, climatic hazards and armed conflict.

The Global Environment Facility (GEF8) approved the Expression of Interest (EOI) of the project entitled “Transforming Agricultural Landscapes in Island Ecosystems and Key Biodiversity Areas towards Sustainable Food Systems and Climate Resilient Communities” under the Food Systems Integrated Program (FS-IP). The project aims to improve the ecosystem health and transform food systems to deliver multiple environmental and social benefits through the following components: (i) enhancing the enabling environment for climate-resilient and sustainable food and landscape management systems, including the dynamic conservation of biodiversity for food and agriculture; (ii) enabling integrated landscape management to sustain food systems and deliver GEBs; (iii) strengthening capacities promoting investment in sustainable and climate resilient food production practices, and improved value chains ; and (iv) promoting learning, knowledge management and monitoring and evaluation for sustainable landscapes management and biodiversity conservation.
