ENVIRONMENTAL RESILIENCE
The Philippines is among the countries most vulnerable to natural disasters and the effects of climate change.
The conventional way of farming has proven inefficient.
The conventional way of farming, widely practiced in the Philippines, has proven inefficient in responding to and coping with more frequent and intense adverse weather conditions like typhoons, floods, or droughts and the attack of unwanted pests & diseases.
Providing solutions
At Narra, we look at agricultural systems as part of larger ecosystems and carefully determine the most appropriate nature-based solutions to improve the functions and resilience of the affected ecosystems.

Biosecurity
Unwanted pests & diseases are a significant threat to every farm, large or small. The low yields caused by these threats severely impact farmers' livelihoods. Narra’s experts have been dealing with biosecurity issues for the last 30 years and have successfully developed and implemented several key biosecurity programmes throughout the Pacific region.
Post-disaster recovery
Typhoons have always been part of the lives of Filipino farmers. However, they have become more frequent and intense over the last decade. Narra maintains an experienced Rapid Recovery team that can be deployed on short notice. The ground team works hand in hand with affected farmers supporting them with immediate on-farm interventions.
Climate resilience
Climate change represents arguably the biggest threat to natural and human systems worldwide. The Philippines constantly ranks among the most vulnerable countries to climate change impacts. We support farmers to grow their crops using climate-smart & resilient practices to build up and enhance the adaptation level of their lands as part of the whole ecosystem.
OUR FOCUS
Sustainability
Agriculture has been advancing for decades at the expense of natural ecosystems. Check out our Sustainability section to learn how Narra builds farmers’ capacities in climate-smart and regenerative farming.
