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.
