The Department of Agriculture implemented the AMIA Program in 2014 to enable the small agriculture and fisheries communities in the Philippines to adapt to the challenges of climate change and sustain their livelihoods. The common diversified systems introduced in the AMIA villages are crop rotation, alternate cropping, crop–livestock/poultry -fishery integration, and agroforestry in the uplands. These systems provide livelihood diversifi cation, hence alternative livelihood sources in case of crop failure due to climate-related calamities.
