Abstract
The farm practice was conducted at the Philippine Business for Special Progress Center for Rural Technology Development (PBSP-CRTD) in Brgy. San Isidro, Calauan, Laguna from April – May 2010 to document and assess the existing from components and practices in the area in relation to sustainable agriculture (SA) and to give recommendations to the identified problems. The recommendations to the identified problems. The recommendations given would help CRTD in showcasing other farming systems and improve the existing farm components. It would also allow CRTD to have better facilitation of farm operations.
Based on the evaluation and assessment done it was found that the interrelationship of the components in each demo farm and among demo farms contribute greatly in achieving sustainability in the farm. The utilization of the resources from each component helps the farm attain a stable yield and a mode of production governed by SA principles. Proper utilization of farm materials and the proper application of technology lead to minimal or close to no use of chemical inputs that allows CRTD to produce organically grown products and minimize expenses.
