Bangon Mini-Farms Project: “Million Farmers Rising”


3/27

Why?

•

Personal Analysis of Surveys and Sense of Unease- Intractable block of 25-35% rated as Poor or Hungry- Poverty Threshold: PHP 10,000 /month (USD 220)

•

50th

Anniversary of LANDBANK - Slogan: Ang Bangkong May Damdaming Bayan

- The Bank That Loves The Country! - My challenge: If so, address the 2 biggest problems.

•

Climate Change: Typhoons Ondoy, Pablo, Yolanda!

- More and Worse Things CANNOT be as usual

- Fighting Hunger/Poverty MUST be based on Resilience- Hence, the project name: BANGON !



4/27

How?

Learnings from: - Bank’s many small-farm failures and- usually-successful large agri-business accounts;

- Personal experience in many industries and countries

Distilled and adapted to Bangon Mini-Farms:1. NO single crop:

- Average farm size in Philippines: 6,700 sqm- Continue w/ usual but allot 1,000 sqm to Bangon

- Integrated product line w/ different gestation periods

2. NO single buyer:- Each sector establishes own farmers’ market.- Partners: LGU feeding needs. Supply agrmts.



5/27

3. NO single or specialized use:

- Items produced are part of daily food needs4. YES to innovation: Simple but disruptive technologies

- Production system: protocols, using local materials- Tech transfer (Set of workshops up to execution):

• 2 day training adjacent to 1,000 sqm pilot farm

• 3 follow-ups (execution sessions) ~6 weeks apart:

o 1st : Review field preparations, organic tools

o 2nd: Test production of veggies, pigs

o

3rd : Test marketing and full pig-growing cycle• Farm field audits.

- Localized Topics: 1 sqm food garden: cities, resettlers



6/27

5. YES to organization and coordination:- Pilot Farm: Sector Head / Market Anchors / Tech Svcs

- Clustering of participants = Cluster Head

- Functions: Market Demand Analysis: Own / Supermkts

Production Allocation, Planting Schedule

Problem Solving (Weather Mitigation)

6. YES to supply chain and direct access to markets.- Enable farmers to sell at retail or wholesale price.

7. YES to proper financing of all links in the chain.

AIM: To successfully market everyday food items at

competitive price, healthier quality, lower production cost.

- Competitive advantage for small farmers now and with2015 ASEAN integration.

Bangon Resilience Measures vs Climate, Hunger, Poverty

-

Multi-crop with different gestation periods- Food for own family ALWAYS available.-

Cash flow restarted within 30-45 days.

-

Organic, microbial farming techniques -

Concoct from local materials: cheaper, eco-friendly. Local reliance.

-

Practices:-

Farm orientation vis elements: Earth, Water, Wind and Sun.-

Wind breaks. Carbonized rice hull. Row covers. Drip Irrigation.-

Increase seed propagation by 20% during rainy season.

- Multi-buyers, Multi-Markets: Always able to sell.

-

Support Organization linked into Integrated Supply Chain

- Financing and Insurance (PCIC-farmers / AGFP-lenders)

Resilience = “Bamboo Strategy”. Bend but not broken.

If uprooted, bangon and carry on.
