A Period ASEAN | Food Shortage in the Philippines
Data
15.5% poverty rate (significantly higher than other countries)
44.7% of the Philippines' population faces moderate or severe food insecurity
28.8% of children under five years old in the Philippines are stunted, which is higher than the global average of 22.3%.
The Philippines ranked 67th in the Global Food Security Index in 2022.
About 40% of all food grown in the Philippines is wasted. (food shortage)
Natural disasters are causing food waste. (typhoons, earthquakes, etc.)
climate change impacts can possibly result in 10 to 15 percent (10–15%) reduction of potential yield of rice, our staple crop
Impacts
Starvation
Death
Population decrease
stunt in growth
Increased typhoons and earthquakes
(from climate change... increases poverty and food shortage in Philippines) doesn't come from poverty and food shortage
poverty rates increase
Solutions / Extensions
Food imports from other countries (i.e. India, Vietnam)
Trade with other countries
Combatting climate change. Natural disasters are leading to food shortages so we need to mitigate the # of natural disasters.
More typhoons recently --> destroying crops and harvest --> food shortage
Not only for the Philippines, for other countries too
Donations
Support smaller scale food providers.
improve government --> pass new legislation and stop corruption so poverty will decrease and lower classes will have available necessities (food, water, shelter, etc.)
