Indonesia Braces for El Nino to Protect Food Supply

Indonesia is ramping up preparations for the upcoming El Nino weather pattern, using lessons from past droughts to safeguard its food supply. The government is implementing new measures to mitigate risks, focusing on protecting key crops like rice. El Nino, a climate phenomenon that warms ocean temperatures in the Pacific, often causes severe dry conditions across Southeast Asia. By acting early, officials aim to prevent shortages and stabilize prices for millions of Indonesians who rely on domestic agriculture.
