Philippines: Scientists develop crops to withstand climate change
As the problem of climate change worsens, agriculturists and experts are working very hard to keep up with the challenges this phenomenon may pose to food supply.
University of the Philippines – Los Banos Soil Conservation Technology and Weed Management research team head Dr. Gil Magsino said that several agriculturists and scientists are developing a new breed of seeds that can withstand climate change.
Magsino disclosed that they are developing highland vegetable seeds that can survive and keep up with the climate change. He noted that highland vegetables being grown here in Benguet and the Mountain Provinces are very much sensitive to temperature.
Magsino added that contributors to climate change are highly urbanized cities with more carbon dioxide emission. He advised fast tracking of reforestation to help combat the situation.
