Comparative analysis on various farming techniques in the philippines

1. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ON VARIOUS FARMING TECHNIQUES IN THE PHILIPPINES
COMPONENTS
FARMING SYSTEM
CONVENTIONAL ORGANIC NATURAL
This systemuses the
commercially produced
fertilizers, pesticides,
fungicides, feeds, antibiotics,
etc.
This systemuses
organically produced
fertilizers as the means of
fertilizing the soil.
Pesticides and fungicides
are also applied only when
needed.
This systembrings the soil
and environment back to
its original form, where the
nature works for the
production of our needs.
PROFITABILITY On Horticulture, the first few
years profit is high. But with
the continued use of
chemical inputs on
commercial fertilizers,
pesticides, and fungicides,
the soil’s nutrients become
degraded so that its profit
goes down at the same time.
For livestock, profit is very
slim due to high
capitalization.
Profit can be high but can
be eaten up by the high
amount of inputs.
For Horticulture, the profit
is high and will increase
yearly. For livestock, profit
is also high due to low
labor requirement and low
consumption of feeds.
PRODUCTIVITY On Horticulture, during the
first few years, the
production is high but as soil
becomes degraded,
production goes down as
well. For livestock,
Low and slow Productivity is high and
increases yearly.

2. production is good, but its
life’s span is short
SUSTAINABILITY For Horticulture, it destroys
soil and environment. For
livestock, it is very slim and
fragile.
Can’t sustain for the next
generation
Can be beneficial for the
many generations to come.
