DA expands climate info system to aid farmers, fishers
Excerpt
The Department of Agriculture (DA) is expanding its climate information system across all regions with the adoption of the Agro-Climatic Advisory Portal (ACAP) to help farmers and fisherfolk cope with weather disturbances. The ACAP is a new digital tool developed and piloted by the DA through its Climate Resilient Agriculture Office in the Bicol Region. It is an online web portal capable of “automatically generating and disseminating climate information services” such as climate- and weather-informed farming and fishing advisories, the DA said.
