II. Adaptation Strategies and Practices
High vulnerability in agricultural ecosystems (IACCC, 1999)
Losses of arable lands due to sea level rise
Decrease in soil fertility due to increased soil erosion
Declined of crop productivity

Possible strategies for adaptation and mitigation in agriculture (IPCC)
• Economic – subsidies, incentive policies, changing of trade •Technological – agricultural management practices, soil and water conservation and management, access to information, infrastructures and other support facilities
![Page 9: Climate Change Adaptation Strategies and Practices for Agricultural](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081323/588c5b161a28ab5e218b5e30/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Possible strategies for adaptation and mitigation in agriculture (IPCC)
• Institutional – mainstreaming of agricultural drought management, extension work of LGUs, legislations and land use conversions, upgrading of food storage systems, collaborations between agencies and farmers, law makers and government agencies.

Research
• NOMIARC – testing of the Modified Sustainable System of Irrigation Agriculture Technology
• Requires less water use • Employs intermittent irrigation • Uses organic fertilizers • Follows prescribed crop management procedures
