Food security and self-sufficiency
Sustainable agriculture and fisheriesNatural resource management
Local development
Agri-PinoyFour Guiding Principles
Food security and self-sufficiency
Accessible, affordable, safe and nutritious food (especially staple food) for all Filipinos.
Sapat, ligtas at abot-kayang pagkain para sa lahat ng Pilipino.
Minimize our dependence on food imports.
Agri-PinoyFour Guiding Principles
Sustainable agriculture and fisheries
Consider the limited carrying capacity of our natural resources while increasing the capabilities of our human resources.
Sustainability is both ecological and economic.
Agri-PinoyFour Guiding Principles
Natural resource management
Manage our natural resource endowments and “optimize” their development, to enhance their competitive advantage while insuring that they are not exhausted.
Agri-PinoyFour Guiding Principles
Local development
Agriculture and fisheries are site specific.
Agri-fisheries development should be integrated into local development plans, using an eco-system framework of governance and development.
Agri-PinoyIs broad-based
Why? The increasing demand from an increasing population requires an increase in productivity and profitability of the broadest number of producers.
We also need a broader and more varied base to insure sustainability and resilience in the face of climate change and changes in the global market
Agri-PinoyIs broad-based
Implications: The DA’s services and resources must be equitably and proportionately allocated to small, medium, and large players
The DA’s services and resources must address the specific needs of the various stakeholders
Agri-PinoyAddresses the whole system
from Farm to Table
The “Farm” represents interventions in production, from soil and water management, extension, seeds and fertilizers, post-harvest processing, credit and marketing etc.
The “Table” represents interventions to insure food security, safety, and quality for the consumers
Agri-Pinoyis based on
sustainable farming systems
Minimize dependence on imports to meet national food requirements
Promote and develop technological interventions that increase productivity while insuring sustainability
Recognize the limits of the carrying capacity of our natural resources, while increasing the capability of our human resources
Agri-Pinoyis based on
sustainable farming systems
Sustainability includes preparing the successor generation
Promote appreciation of agriculture especially among young people e.g. Gulayan sa Paaralan in partnership with DepEd, learning lessons from 4-H clubs and other rural youth programs
Agri-PinoyIntegrates the need for resilience
Resilience and sustainability are both ecological and economic, addressing both bio-physical and market changes
Globalization of markets challenges us to become globally competitive across the whole supply chain
80% of our production sites are vulnerable to climate change impacts
Agri-PinoyIntegrates the need for resilience
Empowerment of farmers through technical and skills upgrading, including timely information about risks
Diversification of crops, farm systems, and value-adding technologies
Agri-PinoyWorks through partnerships
Partnerships with national government agencies, especially the Convergence partners - DAR and DENR. Participation is open to other national agencies.
Partnerships with LGUs who have the responsibility to insure food security and self-sufficiency.
Partnership with DILG to facilitate the integration of agricultural and fisheries development in the local development plans
Agri-PinoyWorks through partnerships
Partnerships with farmers and fishers organizations, NGOs, and other stakeholders including business
Promoting the formation of program-based Agri-Pinoy partnerships at the local, regional, and national level
Agri-PinoyChallenges to the DA
Convergence among DA units and agencies
Professionalism within the DA family
Governance: Transparency, Accountability, Participation
Agri-PinoyBridging the gap Touching the heart
Our stakeholders, especially the grassroots, must experience our sincerity and concern, so that they will trust us and respond to our call
to actively participate in Agri-Pinoy.
