Homegrown agriculture technology firm Mayani Philippines will co-implement a project that seeks to improve small-hold farmers and fisherfolk's resilience to climate change through philanthropic funding of HSBC Philippines.
The project will develop agricultural cooperative-based models for resilient rural livelihoods, with Mayani overseeing the climate-smart agriculture aspect while Bayan Family of Foundations focusing on the cooperative component.
HSBC did not disclose the amount of funding provided to the two groups.
"This important partnership will aim to support local farmers and fishermen to adapt climate-resilient practices and strengthen their businesses, while also striving to contribute towards the improvement of food security in the Philippines," said HSBC Philippines president and CEO Sandeep Uppal.
