It was implemented by the World Agroforestry Centre formerly known as ICRAF in collaboration with different institutions/organizations, which aimed at validating and adapting the successful low-cost soil conservation and agroforestry technologies combined with testing the efficiency of the Landcare approach in promoting conservation farming and empowering local communities. It is purposely implemented to enhance the impact of improved natural resource management on a wider scale and in contrasting bio-physical, socio-economic and institutional environments. The research and development activities focused on the provinces of Bohol and Leyte, located in Region VII and VIII, respectively. Selected municipalities and villages represent the typical bio-physical and socio-economic conditions in the degraded uplands of Central Philippines. The upland ecosystems in these areas are among the most highly stressed and degraded in the region and the rural population among the poorest in the country. In the process of project implementation, strategic partnerships were forged with key government and non-government organizations in the area focusing on upland development. The low-cost soil conservation technology specifically known as natural vegetative filter strips (NVS) and other agroforestry technologies were tested under the shallow calcareous soil environments of the Central Philippines. Facilitating the formation of farmer-led group known as Landcare approach and intensive information support system were used to enhance participatory technology development and dissemination. Technical backstopping through training and actual field activities was also provided to partner institutions/organizations. In more than two years of project implementation, the following key learnings were gained: • Establishment of strategic partnerships with existing national agricultural research and development institutions, local government units, NGOs and farmer groups is an important factor in the successful implementation and scaling-up of Landcare initiatives; • Institutional environment particularly existence of external community support initiatives plays a crucial role in the efficiency of scaling up technical and institutional innovations; Final Report: March 2001 - July 2003 • Strengthening the relationships among key players on natural resource management such as landlords, local government units and existing grassroots groups, plays a major role to ensure the participation and sustainability of our Landcare initiatives, research and development; • Intensive IEC to orient and involve different stakeholders on the Landcare-related activities is the first step on the scaling-up approach; • Building on existing practices, and traditional systems of knowledge exchange and dissemination enhances project impact; • Low-cost natural vegetative filter strips are at least as effective in the shallow calcareous soil environments as under deep acidic soil conditions in Northern Mindanao; • Complementary practices are needed to enhance soil fertility on cultivated slopes under the low-external input conditions typical for most of the Central Philippine uplands; • Diversification from fast growing tree species for their integration into existing farming systems are needed to complement and enhance tree-growing initiatives by smallholders. Market studies, and policy research and intervention need to be done. The duration of project implementation allows for scaling up of conservation farming and agroforestry practices and Landcare in some areas in the Central Philippines. However, two years is quite short to allow a thorough documentation of the processes involved in scaling up the technologies and approaches, and for conducting in-depth assessment of its impacts. In-depth analysis/evaluation of impacts of scaling up conservation farming and agroforestry practices and Landcare approach to a wider range of tropical hillside environment is needed to fully assess their potential for extrapolation to similar sites and to draw implications at the national level.

  • Risk-Efficient Planting Schedules for Corn in Matalom, Leyte, Philippines
    Philippine Journal of Development Number 66, First Semester 2009 Volume XXXVI, No. 1 Risk-efficient Planting Schedules for Corn in Matalom, Leyte, Philippines remBerto a. PatindoL, Canesio d. Predo, 1 and rosaLina g. de guzman ABSTRACT The study was conducted to identify risk-efficient cropping schedules for corn farmers in Matalom, Leyte, Philippines using stochastic dominance analysis of simulated yields, given the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) forecasts during the cropping period. Actual weather data, with missing observations estimated using a weather generating software, were used in constructing weather data sets. These data, together with crop parameters and soil characteristics in the study site, were used as inputs to generate probability distributions of yields during different planting schedules. The simulated yield distributions were classified according to the ENSO phases prevailing during the cropping period. Stochastic dominance analysis was applied on the yield distributions to determine the first-degree stochastic dominance (FSD) set and the second-degree stochastic dominance (SSD) set. Finally, stochastic dominance with respect to a function (SDWRF) was applied on the SSD set to identify risk-efficient schedules at different levels of risk aversion. 1 Remberto A.

INTRODUCTION The importance of the preservation of the tropical rainforest is discussed all over the world (e.g. 1972 Stockholm Conference, 1975 Helsinki Conference, 1992 Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit, and the 2002 Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development). Tropical rainforest has been recognized as one of the main elements for maintaining climatic conditions, for the prevention of impoverishment of human societies and for the maintenance of biodiversity, since they support an immense richness of life (Withmore, 1990). In addition sustainable management of the environment and elimination of absolute poverty are included as the 21st Century most important challenges embedded in the Millennium Development Goals. The forest of Southeast Asia constitutes, after the South American, the second most extensive rainforest formation in the world. The archipelago of tropical Southeast Asia is one of the world's great reserves of biodiversity and endemism. This holds true for The Philippines in particular: it is one of the most important “biodiversity hotspots”.1.
