The objective of this practice was to focus on the suitability and replication potential of salt-tolerant rice varieties as alternatives in saline impacted areas, and thus contribute to the region’s resilience and food security. The Philippines is among the most disaster-prone countries in the world. More than 200 climate-related natural disasters were recorded in the last two decades. Alone in 2011, the country was hit by 33 disasters, claiming 1 430 lives. Agriculture is the sector most affected by tropical cyclones, causing a decline in production and productivity threatens the country's food security. Due to climate variability and other environmental changes, rice cultivators, especially in the typhoon prone areas, are facing some challenges to adapt to saltwater intrusion in coastal areas. Salinity has become one of the major soil problems in many rice-growing areas in the world. About 48 million hectares of land in the humid regions of South and Southeast Asia are technically suited to rice production but remain idle or are grown with poor results due to salinity. Studies show, however, that sustained and profitable production of crops specifically rice on salt-affected soils, is possible if appropriate farm management practices are implemented.
