This webinar will present various studies conducted by PIDS researchers on weather and climate forecasts tools useful for farmers in Benguet. Examples of these tools are the rapid climate decision analysis and the crop climate calendars that aid agricultural extension workers and farmers in decisionmaking.

The virtual seminar will also tackle various issues concerning accessibility and utilization of weather and climate information. Some of the barriers identified include the lack of working capital to implement optimal decision alternatives dictated by adverse weather conditions, the lack of reliable phone service and power to disseminate and access the information, and the absence of laymanized forecasts. 

Here are the studies to be featured in the webinar:
