PROJECT 1
Reducing Vulnerability to Climate Change through Rice-Based Farming System Approach Gian Carlo C. Enot
The project integrated three studies: (1) Development of Climate Change Resilient Upland Rice-Based Farming System; (2) Development of Gender-Sensitive Palayamanan Plus Farming System for Stress-Prone Lowland Rice Ecosystems; and (3) Assessment on the Productivity of the On-station Palayamanan Farming System. Study 1 aimed to increase rice yield by 1t/ha and increase income by 25% in the upland rice farming system. Two upland sites were established in Brgy. Lubgan, Bula, Camarines Sur, and in Brgy. Inlagadian, Casiguran, Sorsogon. Under the second study, mushroom production training was conducted in the project site, which was participated by 52 rice farmers. Meanwhile, the third study showcased five Palayamanan components, which included production of mushroom, vegetable, rice-fish-azolla, and rice and vermicomposting.
