Climate change increases uncertainties in the agriculture sector and directly impacts agricultural production. In the Cordillera region of the northern Philippines, erratic precipitation patterns affect water availability during important crop growth stages, while drought in some areas make it extremely difficult for farmers to grow crops. Local agriculture workers and farmers in this region have also reported increased occurrence, intensity and length of rainfall events, which increase erosion rates, trigger landslides, and make certain crops more susceptible to diseases. The planting of the KS Kuroda variety carrot is a good practice option that can prevent production loss due to heavy and prolonged rainfall. An important characteristic of KS Kuroda identified by the project stakeholders in the Cordillera region is the ability of the roots to withstand rotting (as compared to other less tolerant varieties) during heavy and prolonged precipitation. Rotting of the roots can make the carrots more susceptible to microbial and fungal infections. Planting KS Kuroda carrots can enhance overall resilience in terms of: a) addressing slow onset climate change impacts, such as shifting precipitation patterns; and b) reducing the risk and impact of current climate variability and extreme weather events, such as heavy and erratic rainfall.
