Being a farmer in the Philippines is becoming more difficult as the country faces the threats of the pandemic, climate change, and hunger

The government has distributed 120,889 hectares of land to 77,275 agrarian reform beneficiaries nationwide from July 2016 to June 2019

The rice liberalization law resulted in the country's "total reliance" on a very limited market for food security

Protesters called on the government to act on the killings of peasants and appealed for “respect for those who produce the food we eat”
