Hunger & Poverty in the Philippines
Ending Hunger
Poverty and hunger are intertwined challenges that devastate individuals and communities of the Philippine population, especially the 23.7% of Filipinos living below the national poverty line. We believe that we cannot end hunger unless we break the cycle of poverty.
Disaster’s Impact on Food Production
The Philippines’ rural inhabitants primarily depend on agriculture, especially farming and fishing. However, agricultural productivity in Provinces is highly susceptible to flooding, landslides, and drought.
These calamities disrupt food production, damage infrastructure, displace communities, and strain their capacity to cope with hunger and food insecurity. In addition, these people have limited options for off-farm employment, further exacerbating the problem.
Why the Philippines?
The Philippines is a nation susceptible to disasters. These disasters, such as earthquakes, typhoons, and floods, disrupt food production, damage infrastructure, and displace communities to cope with hunger and food insecurity.
