The City Agriculturist’s Office (CAgrO) is actively assessing the Davao City government's response to climate-related challenges, with a focus on supporting local farmers and fisherfolk. Antonio R. Obsioma, CAgrO officer-in-charge, said he has consulted with the city’s disaster response group regarding the impacts of climate change and has already rolled out mitigation measures. Among these is the installation of solar-powered irrigation systems (SPIS) across Davao’s three districts. In January 2025, the city installed a P1.4 million SPIS in Pañalum, Paquibato District. Powered by solar panels, the system pumps water to irrigate 10 hectares of farmland and is expected to benefit around 30 farmers.
