Ecological Agriculture Farmers in The Philippines

Greenpeace documents farmers in The Philippines who have been affected by super typhoon Haiyan on November 8, 2013. These farmers never lost hope which helped them recover fast. Super typhoon Haiyan made them realize the importance of taking care of the environment. This realisation led them shift to ecological farming practices using integrated diversified organic farming methods.
Greenpeace supports ecological farming and enables communities to produce enough food to feed themselves. This form of agriculture fosters a future of healthy farming and healthy food, for all people. Ecological farming helps the world’s population to mitigate—and adapt to—climate change.
