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 in this country. In 2011 it was hit by 33 disasters, claiming 1 430 lives. These typhoons trigger landslides, flashfloods, mudslides, widespread flooding and cause significant destruction and damage. Agriculture is the sector most affected by tropical cyclones, causing a decline in production and productivity which potentially threatens the country's food security. Strip intercropping is a good practice option to reduce the impacts of climate hazards on the agriculture sector. The practice involves on-farm alteration of crop mixes and/or the addition or substitution of new crop varieties. A mix of crop types with different climate-related characteristics can have several advantages in comparison to planting a single crop over the same area of land. It is expected to enhance the resilience of the production system, to reduce the risk of income loss during inclement weather (such as long dry spell, heavy rainfall, typhoon, etc.), to increase the biodiversity and to diversify the family’s nutrition and food security.
