3. Unsa ang Agrikultura?
Ang agrikultura mao ang
siyensiya sa pagdumala sa
pagpatubo o pagbuhi sa
tanum ug hayop alang sa
panginahanglan sa katawhan.
4. Brief history of Agriculture
• Nagsugod niadtong 8,000BC
• Babaye ang nakadiskobre
• Katuyoan: PAGKAON
5. 500AD – 1565 (pre-colonial period)
• Agriculture was deeply attached with
the principles of biodiversity as
expressed in the beliefs, rituals and
indigenous practices.
• Provide healthy foods for all
• No land monopoly
• No agrochemicals
• No food crisis

natural ang pagbuhi niini, at least, isa ka tuig nga ang

organic, walay antibiotic og growth hormones.
Unsay ORGANIC?
Ang mga tanom nga pagkaon aron makonsidera kini nga
organic,kinahangalan wala gigamitan sa mga “synthetic” nga
abono o pesticidio.
ang yuta nga gitamnan kinahanglan dili contaminado sa
chemical o pesticidio;
dili GMO og wala gi-agi og “irradiation”.

International Federation of Organic Agriculture
Movements (IFOAM) Definition
• Organic agricultural systems rely on
ecosystem management rather than
external agricultural inputs
Organic Agriculture…
• Is a holistic production management system,
which enhances agro-ecosystem health,
utilizing both traditional and scientific
knowledge
12. Organic Farming mitigates climate change ?
Reduces greenhouse gases, especially nitrous oxide, as no chemical
nitrogen fertilizers are used and nutrient losses are minimized.
Stores carbon in soil and plant biomass by building organic matter,
encouraging agro-forestry and forbidding the clearance of primary
ecosystems.
Minimizes energy consumption by 30-70% per unit of land by
eliminating the energy required to manufacture synthetic fertilizers, and
by using internal farm inputs, thus reducing fuel used for transportation.
13. Like Pouring Kerosene On A Fire
Peter Kenmore, former head of pest management in
asia for the FAO described trying to control insect
outbreaks with insecticides was “like pouring
kerosene on a fire”. No sooner do we depress their
numbers with poisons than the survivors rebound
around it. What DOES NOT kill them makes them
stronger.

16. Research and Studies: “The Benefits of Organic Foods”
Write-up by Andre Leu, Chair, Organic Federation of Australia
The research suggested that pesticides and herbicides
disrupt the production of these protective
compounds. Good soil nutrition appears to increase the
levels of these natural compounds that have anti cancer,
immune boosting and anti aging properties.
Research published in 2001 showed that the current fruit
and vegetables in the USA have about half the vitamin
content of their counterparts in 1963. This study was based
on comparing published US Department of Agriculture
(USDA) figures.

› For the current survey, a total of almost 2.4 million organic
producers were reported.
› According to the data obtained, more than three quarters of the
producers are located in developing and transition countries.
› The country with the most producers is India (585’200), followed by
Ethiopia (203’302) and Mexico (200’039).
› It should be noted that not all certifiers reported the number of
producers; their number is probably higher than 2.4 million.

growing strongly
› China is the largest market in the
region
› Very dynamic development in many
countries
› Government support (including for

24. In 2015 organic farming continued to grow: More
organic farmland, more producers, market growth.
However, the development varies a lot between
countries and regions.
The outlook on the organic markets continues to be
good; there is scope for further growth. However,
particularly in Europe, production is not keeping pace
with the market development.
For better monitoring of the development of the
sector, data collection and processing need to be
improved in many countries, in particular for market
and international trade data.

32. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The signing of Republic Act No. 10068 or
more commonly known as the Philippine
Organic Agriculture Act on April 06, 2010, is a
landmark legislation for the development and
promotion of organic agriculture in the
Philippines.
Compared to many Asian countries, the
organic agriculture sector in the
Philippines is still in its formative years
Production of organic agriculture products
remains marginal with less than one percent
of the country’s agricultural land devoted to
organic farming
33. A 2006 study show that there is an estimated 35,000 organic farms in the
country with a cumulative production area certified under organic
management of 14,140 hectares or 0.12 percent of total Philippine agricultural
lands.
However, the available data only capture farms that have been third-party certified and do
not reflect the broader population of organic farming practitioners that have not sought third
certification.
All data and information point to growing market demand for organic
products both at the local and global levels.
The domestic organic market in the Philippines has been described as a
“niche” market sold mainly in specialty stores and weekend markets in Metro
Manila
34. More recent data from the Philippine Development Assistance Program (PDAP)
estimates the local organic product market to be worth between USD 20 million or
PhP860 million to USD 30 million or PhP1.3 billion.
To date, organic agriculture products are slowly penetrating the shelves of large
supermarket chains and restaurants due mainly to the broadening demand
brought aboutby growing health consciousness andawarenessin the country.
On the other hand, exports of Philippine organic products are estimated to
have reached USD 18 million in 2006 and increasing.
Based on 2000 data from the Foreign Agriculture Service of the US
Department of Agriculture (USDA), the local organic product market in the
Philippines is estimated to be worth USD 6.2 million or PhP 266.7 million.
