DA vows for climate-resilient agri-fishery sector

THE Department of Agriculture (DA) has committed to strongly pursue climate-resilient agricultural technologies and systems to sustain productivity, ensure more income of farmers and fisherfolk, and attain food security in the country.

“Extreme weather, widely considered as the ‘new normal,’ has already and will continue to impact on the country’s agriculture and fishery sector, and national food security,” Agriculture Secretary William Dar said in a statement on Monday.
