The Philippines are regularly exposed to extreme weather events. Due to its geographical location and physical environment Bicol Region is particularly prone to meteorological hazards such as typhoons, floods, drought, and high magnitude rainfall and related hazards such landslides. Agriculture is one of the most affected sectors especially in the rain fed and upland agro-ecological zones, which largely dependent on climatic conditions. The many resource-poor farmers in the Bicol Region are made even more vulnerable to the dangerous impacts of climate change to their livelihood. This necessitates putting in place adaptation strategies to reduce their vulnerability and enhance their adaptive capacities. Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is a traditional plantation crop grown in the Bicol Region. A large portion of area under coconut, representing over 20 percent of the available arable land in most producing countries, can be use more productively with either a single intercrop or a multi-storey cropping system. Coconut leaf pruning (CLP) is a simple, practical and environment-friendly practice that allows the planting of intercrops with high sunlight requirement such as vegetables. This intercropping practice requires a short period of planting time, smaller area (using vacant spaces between coconut trees), and less capital requirement while at the same time it provides additional income and improved food security to the farming households. This practice describes how to prune coconut leaf in order to use the unutilized space for vegetable cultivation. In doing so, the unutilized area of land that often amounts to up to 75 percent is reduced while the planting of vegetables minimizes the damages caused by typhoons.
