Typhoon Haiyan: portraits of resilience

Two years after the typhoon ravaged coastal and farmland communities, the people who survived the storm -the farmers and fishers- are well on the road to recovery. This book is a tribute to their resilience and FAO's work together to build back better their agricultural livelihoods after suffering such devastating losses.

When Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) swept through the central Philippines on 8 November 2013, the storm affected some 14.1 million people and caused more than USD 700 million in damage to the agriculture sector, severely threatening the country’s food security.
