  1. Coping with Food Crisis and Climate Change:Grassroots Experiences and Best Practices Chito P. Medina Farmer-Scientist Partnership for Development(MASIPAG), Philippines http://www.masipag.org Email: cmedina@masipag.org

  2. I. Making use of Biodiversity • A. Conserve Biodiversity • B. Utilization of Biodiversity

  3. MASIPAG uses biodiversity for food security: Seed as adaptation: 1,090 Traditional Rice Varieties collected 1,069 Masipag rice developed 75 Native Corn Varieties collected

  4. Rice in different shapes, colors, flavors, adaptations

  5. Rice Breeding by Farmers 67 farmer-breeders(2005) 273 rice crosses developed

  6. Number of Traditional Rice Varieties (TRVs) and Masipag rice with desired characteristics.

  7. Diversified farm

  8. Soil Fertility Management

  9. II. Develop Technology, Democratize Technology • Technology by the farmer, of the farmer, for the farmer • Incorporate Indigenous/Local Knowledge • Malleable / contextualized technology (not black box technology)

  10. Control versus adaptation approach Control model conventional approach Adaptation model organic approach • focus on single issues • overruling variation • continuous monitoring • direct interference • static balance. • focus on the system • exploiting variation • stimulating self regulation • indirect management • dynamic balance. (Ten Napel et al., 2006; WUR/LBI)
