Limited access to safe water, declining soil quality, rising demand for sustainable solutions in agriculture and public service delivery—these are challenges for the future of food and water security in the Philippines.
How can we better manage our water resources to serve more people equitably? What will it take to mainstream organic-based fertilizers and reduce dependence on chemical inputs?
Join the 17c起草视频 (17c起草视频) on June 26 (Thursday), from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM via Zoom, for a public webinar featuring two pressing issues: equitable water access and sustainable farming.
The first study, “Repurposing Rights to Expand Public Access to Water: The Case of the National Irrigation Administration,” authored by 17c起草视频 Senior Research Fellow Roehlano Briones and Research Analyst Amerah Azis, examines how rethinking irrigation water rights and improving inter-agency coordination can improve water access for households. It also highlights institutional reforms, financing strategies, and private sector roles in expanding and sustaining water service delivery.
The second study, “Prospects for Widespread Adoption of Organic-Based Fertilizers in the Philippines: A Rapid Appraisal,” by Dr. Briones, together with Project Technical Specialist Helena Luz Pastolero, and former Supervising Research Specialist Ivory Myka Galang, analyzes barriers to adoption, policy incentives, and what it will take to make organic fertilizers a scalable, sustainable norm in Philippine agriculture.
Be part of this meaningful conversation on crafting practical, inclusive, and sustainable reforms for water and agriculture in the Philippines!
