2.1 Courte description de la Technologie

Définition de la Technologie:

Landusers are organized into a group or association to undertake jointly activities in the farm which include operation, input procurement, and marketing of produced crops.

2.2 Description détaillée de la Technologie

Description:

Compact farming in Brgy. Villaconzoilo was started by the barangay captain Mr. Alex O. Aborita wherein parcels of lands were acquired for the association to utilize. He organized the Villaconzoilo farmers’ group also known as the Compact Farming Agriculture Cooperative where he introduced new technologies to improve the farming system of the community. Farmers cultivate vegetable on a contract growing scheme. Some of the farm practices consist of growing vegetables and fruits using indigenous organic materials as soil conditioner and livestock raising. Vegetables and fruits are cultivated in divided parts but in the same area.

Purpose of the Technology: Compact farming was organized to enhance group interactions and leadership among members of the association.The aim of the landusers in growing organic vegetables is to revive and sustain soil fertility and maximize waste management practice. Marigold was also planted in between plots within the farm to prevent and control insect and pest manifestation. Landusers in the barangay were empowered through farming and conservation of the forest area. Through this technology, marketability and available markets for the produced commodities were increased. The association received numerous award in the regional and provincial level because of their demonstration of a productive and profitable farming system in the upland area.

Establishment / maintenance activities and inputs: It started in 2011 with 18 farmers investing 1000 pesos (22 dollars) each to buy initial inputs such as land, seeds and fertilizer. The area was cleared for agricultural activities. Produced are high value crops such as tomatoes, lettuce, pechay, cabbage, carrots, beans, broccoli, cucumber, and radish. These are sold not only in Jaro but also in the neighbouring municipalities and big markets in Leyte. The barangay was dubbed as the “Vegetable Basket” and the “Watermelon Queen” because of their production. Activities in the farm such as plowing, harrowing, establishment of plots, fertilizer application, transplanting, watering, spraying and harvesting are done in a rotational basis among members of the association.

Natural / human environment: Most of the farmers cultivated one parcel with size ranging from 1000-2000 square meters. Land ownership and land use right is communal. The farm production is managed by the cooperative composed of small scale land users. Members of the association are enganged in off-farm activities such as hunting and hired labor for additional income. The municipality of Jaro, Leyte has a type A modified climatic classification with an average monthly rainfall of 1000 to 1500 mm. Typhoons that usually come in October or November is very destructive to any standing crop. These factors discourage farmers to apply external inputs like fertilizer. The municipality has mostly acidic soil type with pH ranging 4.8 to 5.6.

Land users of the cooperative were empowered through their knowledge in growing crops and raising livestock. Their income were increased due to the diversified high value vegetables planted within the farm. How can they be sustained / enhanced? Provision of trainings by the government for the land users in the cooperative on proper packaging of the fresh vegetables, and secondary processing of crops to increase their market value.

Points forts/ avantages/ possibilités du point de vue du compilateur ou d'une autre personne ressource clé
Strong leadership and knowledge on farming of the barangay captain Mr. Alex O. Arborito who encouraged the land users to invest and join the cooperative.
The area was opened for ecological tourism and as training sites for agricultural technicians/workers, on the job training's for students from the university to experience first hand the farming system of the cooperative. How can they be sustained / enhanced? Delineate specific areas only for training grounds as not to disrupt activities in the whole farm area.
