TECHNOLOGY NEEDS ASSESSMENT OF SUBSISTENCE VEGETABLE BACKYARD FARMERS IN PILI, CAMARINES SUR


by: Maria Abigail L. Nacario

  Philippines is an agricultural country as we all know and agriculture plays an important role in our society because it has fueled our economy. Most of the countries population depends on farming for their livelihood. Nowadays, many people are still engaging in subsistence farming. In this type of farming, farmers focus on growing enough food to feed themselves and their family. The cultivators use simple tools to produce the crop. These farmers try to obtain maximum yield from the available lands by intensifying cultivation techniques. Farmers had a very limited access land, production inputs credit and other resources. 

 

     With these recent situation in our country particularly in our town, I formulated and presently conducting my research entitled; Technology needs assessment of subsistence vegetable backyard farmers in Pili, Camarines Sur.Through my research, I will be able to assess the socio-economic condition of backyard farming industry in Pili, Camarines sur, identify issues and needs of backyard farmers and lastly, recommend development and management options that will address the farmer's needs. This may result to increase the level of productivity which in turn means bright opportunity to the farmers.
