2. Description de l'Approche de GDT

2.1 Courte description de l'Approche

Synergistic mix of farming ventures implemented by the farm family based on the existing environment and their resources to address food security, income instability, and sustainability.

2.2 Description détaillée de l'Approche

Description détaillée de l'Approche:

The objectives of the approach are the following: to improve resources allocation; to enhance biodiversity and ecological balance; to reduce production risks; and to increase cropping intensity, productivity, profitability, and economic stability. It also includes continuous food supply and higher income for land users. With Palayamanan, the farm is not just intended for rice. It is about food security, livelihood and empowering farmers to become better decision makers and resilient to climate change. It also aims to develop land users to become farmer-researchers, extension workers and entrepreneurs.

Methods: Participatory approach with the stakeholders/land users.

Implementation comprised the following stages: (1) Selection of the demonstration sites an farmer-partners; (2) Conduct participatory rapid appraisal on the sites; (3) Planning; (4) Conduct of training for the farmers (Farmers Field School) and for the Agricultural Extension Workers; (5) Establishment of the demonstration farm; (6) Monitoring and Evaluation; and (7) Human Resource Development for Farmers (to become farmer-researcher, extension worker, entrepreneur)

Stakeholders: A. Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice): take the lead in the implementation of the program; facilitate the conduct of training;provide technical assistance to the program; and monitor the progress of the program.
B. Local Government Unit (Agriculture Office): provide support to the activities of the program; spearhead the dissemination and expansion of the program within their concerned municipality.
C. Farmer: participate in various activities of the program from planning to establishment; conduct on-site researches.

The approach introduced a systematized method of farm management involving technologies and practices to utilize available resources without compromising human health and environment. Some of the technologies incorporated under this approach are the following: crop rotation, aquaculture, waste recycling, diversified cropping, alternate wetting and drying, nutrient management, and integrated pest management.

6. Analyses d'impact et conclusions

6.1 Impacts de l'Approche

Est-ce que l'Approche a aidé les exploitants des terres à mettre en œuvre et entretenir les Technologies de GDT?
  • Non
  • Oui, un peu
  • Oui, modérément
  • Oui, beaucoup

There was a shift in the cropping system from mono cropping to diversified cropping resulted in the improvement soil properties. Through the approach, location specific rice-based farming technologies were developed to address the issue on climate change.

Est-ce que l'Approche a autonomisé les groupes socialement et économiquement défavorisés?
  • Non
  • Oui, un peu
  • Oui, modérément
  • Oui, beaucoup

Farmers were trained as extension workers to serve as resource speaker in training other farmers within their municipality. Through this, their confidence and self esteem, specially, in dealing with other people were developed. The approach introduced cost-saving and yield-enhancing technologies to optimize the farm operation.

Est-ce que l'Approche a conduit à améliorer la sécurité alimentaire et/ou la nutrition?
  • Non
  • Oui, un peu
  • Oui, modérément
  • Oui, beaucoup

The approach provided knowledge, as well as, experience to the land users that was eventually applied in improving their farming system to increase their farm production and income. Diversified farming sustain the farmer's food requirement and also generate income from the different crops and animals grown.

Did other land users / projects adopt the Approach?
  • Non
  • Oui, un peu
  • Oui, modérément
  • Oui, beaucoup

Seventy percent (70%) of the land users within the area adopted the program because of the successful initial program implementation in the locality.

Did the Approach lead to improved livelihoods / human well-being?
  • Non
  • Oui, un peu
  • Oui, modérément
  • Oui, beaucoup

Some of the land users who practice Palayamanan, namely Teresita Allado and Honorio Dela Cruz Jr., were named as farmer-scientists or “magsasaka-siyentista”. Due to this approach, other programs from government and non-government agencies were introduced and given to the land users. In addition, diversified cropping was practiced thus increasing the income of farmers which was used in the construction of their homes, buying of livestock and acquiring additional land for farming. Land users increased their risk taking ability or investing capacity towards farming.

6.2 Principale motivation des exploitants des terres pour mettre en œuvre la GDT

  • augmenter la production
  • augmenter la rentabilité/ bénéfice, rapport coûts-bénéfices
  • well-being and livelihoods improvement

6.3 Durabilité des activités de l'Approche

Les exploitants des terres peuvent-ils poursuivre ce qui a été mis en œuvre par le biais de l'Approche (sans soutien extérieur)?
  • oui
Si oui, décrivez de quelle manière:

The approach would continue without the support from Philippine Rice Research (PhilRice) since the technologies were successfully transferred to the land users. The land users or farmer-partners recognized the positive impact and outcome of the technologies in their own farm areas. Moreover, farmer-partners were actively involved in the dissemination on the developed location-specific technologies.
