President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. pushed for regional “self-sufficiency” at the 17th East Asia Summit held in Cambodia last Sunday to ensure that there will be enough food for people in the Indo-Pacific region amid the global crisis.
He noted that food security is also linked to climate change as extreme weather events have caused massive damage to agriculture. This after the pandemic and the crisis in Ukraine have caused global food prices to rise, which did not bode well for the country, as it relies heavily on imports to meet local demand for rice, flour, and other food items.
