INTRODUCTION

Assessing agricultural methods and production in Barangay Vintar is

critical for understanding the agriculture sector in this rural community.
Agriculture is critical to the Philippine economy, contributing considerably to
the country's GDP and employing a big proportion of the people (World Bank,
2014). Barangay Vintar is recognized for its lush agricultural grounds, with a
focus on rice and corn agriculture (Philippine Statistics Authority, 2015). This
region's agricultural practices combine traditional ways passed down through
generations with contemporary ones introduced through agricultural
development initiatives (FAO, 2016).

Despite the importance of agriculture in Barangay Vintar, there is a

paucity of thorough research that evaluates agricultural methods and
production in the community. This research vacuum limits the region's
capacity to make educated decisions and execute effective solutions to
increase agricultural output and sustainability (ADB, 2017).

As a result, the purpose of this study is to solve this research gap by

performing an in-depth assessment of agricultural practices and production in
Barangay Vintar. The study will look into a variety of topics, such as the crops
planted, farming methods used, yield per hectare, and variables impacting
productivity. The study will also look at the issues farmers face, such as
climate change, pests and diseases, and access to resources and technology
(IPCC, 2014). The study's findings will give useful insights for policymaking
and action. They will guide the creation of tailored interventions to solve the
identified obstacles and increase agricultural productivity in Barangay Vintar.
This, in turn, will contribute to the community's economic growth and enhance
inhabitants' living conditions (World Bank, 2018).

This research of agricultural techniques and production in Barangay

Vintar is both pertinent and essential. It has the potential to significantly boost
the barangay's agricultural sector, benefitting the community and contributing
to the municipality's overall growth (ADB, 2020). The research findings will
throw light on the existing situation of agricultural practices in Barangay
Vintar, providing useful insights for policymakers, researchers, and
stakeholders interested in agricultural development.

 Vintar is a barangay in the city of Valencia, in the province of Bukidnon.
Its population as determined by the 2020 Census was 2,541. The population
of Vintar grew from 1,613 in 1990 to 2,541 in 2020, an increase of 928 people
over the course of 30 years. The latest census figures in 2020 denote a
positive growth rate of 5.55%, or an increase of 575 people, from the previous
population of 1,966 in 2015. Vintar is situated at approximately 7.9463,
125.1747, in the island of Mindanao. Elevation at these coordinates is
estimated at 317.4 meters or 1,041.3 feet above mean sea level.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The agriculture industry of Barangay Vintar, Valencia City, is critical

to the local economy and inhabitants' livelihoods. However, there is a
general lack of information and assessment of agricultural methods and

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Agricultural practices
Agricultural practices are the strategies, methods, and activities used
by farmers to cultivate, maintain, and harvest crops or raise livestock. These
methods include land preparation, planting, irrigation, fertilization, pest and
disease control, crop rotation, and post-harvest management.

Productivity
Productivity in agriculture refers to the efficiency and output of
agricultural operations. It calculates the quantity of agricultural product
(crops or livestock) produced per unit of input (land, labor, capital, or time).
High agricultural productivity reflects the ability to produce more with less
resources, resulting in higher yields and profitability.

Assessment
Assessment in the context of agricultural practices and productivity is
systematically evaluating and analyzing many elements of farming activities.
It entails gathering and analyzing data on crop yields, input utilization, farm
management methods, environmental conditions, and socioeconomic
indicators in order to better understand agriculture's current situation and
suggest opportunities for development.

4
Sustainable Agriculture
Sustainable agriculture is the practice of farming that attempts to
fulfill current and future agricultural demands while protecting the
environment, conserving natural resources, and guaranteeing the economic
sustainability of farming communities. It entails using ecologically friendly
techniques such as organic farming, conservation agriculture, and
agroforestry to increase long-term agricultural production and resilience.

Evidence-Based Decision-Making
Evidence-based decision-making entails utilizing trustworthy and
objective information, data, and research findings to inform and guide
decision-making processes. When reviewing agricultural practices and
productivity, evidence-based decision-making entails employing
assessment results, research studies, and data analysis to make educated
decisions and design successful agricultural development and improvement
plans.

Livelihood
Livelihoods are the way of generating a steady income and meeting
one's fundamental requirements and well-being. In terms of agricultural
practices and production in Barangay Vintar, livelihoods are inextricably
linked to the revenue and job possibilities created by farming operations.
Assessing agricultural practices and productivity may assist improve
livelihoods by enhancing agricultural production, expanding economic
options, and assuring local food security.

5
 CHAPTER 2

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

The theoretical framework for measuring agricultural practices and

production in Barangay Vintar using qualitative research combines several
fundamental elements. First, the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework will be
used to better understand the relationship between agricultural practices,
livelihoods, and community well-being. This framework will guide the
investigation of how agricultural methods affect the economic, social, and
environmental aspects of livelihoods in Barangay Vintar. Second, the spread
of Innovations Theory will be used to investigate the adoption and spread of
novel agricultural methods among farmers in the community. This theory will
aid in determining the elements that impact the adoption and implementation
of new farming practices and technology. Finally, the Social Network Analysis
technique will be used to investigate the social ties and networks amongst
farmers in Barangay Vintar, which might impact the sharing of agricultural
knowledge, information, and resources. By combining these theoretical
approaches, this qualitative study seeks to give a thorough knowledge of the
variables impacting agricultural practices and production in Barangay Vintar,
with an emphasis on sustainable lifestyles, innovation dissemination, and
social networks.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Smith et al. (2017) investigated the effect of sustainable agriculture

methods on production. The researchers discovered that implementing
sustainable methods such as organic farming, agroforestry, and integrated
pest control can result in higher crop yields, better soil health, and lower
environmental consequences. They underlined the necessity of developing
sustainable techniques that increase agricultural output while reducing
negative environmental repercussions.

6
 Rahman et al. (2019) investigated the influence of technology in
enhancing agricultural practices and output. The researchers emphasized the
importance of precision agricultural technology like remote sensing, GPS, and
data analytics in optimizing resource allocation, crop management, and
decision-making processes. They discovered that integrating technology into
agriculture can result in higher yields, lower input costs, and increased total
production.

Gollin et al. (2014) investigated the link between agricultural research

and increased production. The researchers discovered that investing in
agricultural research and development, such as enhanced crop varieties, pest
and disease control tactics, and agronomic practices, had a considerable
beneficial influence on agricultural production. They stressed the importance
of ongoing investment in research and innovation to sustainably boost
agricultural output and satisfy rising global food demand.

Shiferaw et al. (2018) investigated how socioeconomic variables

influence farming practices and production. The researchers discovered that
access to financing, land tenure security, market possibilities, and farmer
education were important predictors of agricultural production. They
emphasized the need of supporting policies and institutions that address
these socioeconomic concerns in order to improve agricultural practices and
output.

Jones et al. (2016) explored how climate change affects agricultural

productivity. The researchers discovered that shifting weather patterns, such
as increasing temperatures and inconsistent rainfall, had a major impact on
agricultural production. They underlined the need of adaptive farming
strategies, such as the adoption of drought-tolerant crop varieties and
enhanced irrigation systems, in mitigating the effects of climate change on
agricultural production.

Zhang et al. (2018) investigated the influence of farmer cooperatives in

improving agricultural practices and production. The researchers discovered
that farmer cooperatives can help farmers get access to resources, training,
and market possibilities, thereby enhancing farming methods and production.
They emphasized the need of developing farmer cooperatives in promoting
sustainable agriculture and rural development.

Kassie et al. (2015) investigated how agricultural extension services

affected farming practices and production. The researchers discovered that
extension services, which offer farmers with information and training on new
farming practices, had a considerable impact on agricultural production. They

7
stressed the need of effective and accessible extension programs that provide
farmers with the knowledge and skills they need to enhance their agricultural
methods.

Wossen et al. (2017) explored how social networks affected farming

practices and production. The researchers discovered that farmers that
participate in social networks are more likely to improve their farming
techniques and achieve greater production. They emphasized the importance
of social networks in spreading knowledge and encouraging the use of novel
farming practices.

Locale of the Study

Barangay Vintar is a rural village in Valencia City, Bukidnon.

Barangay Vintar is known for its fertile agricultural areas and mostly
cultivates rice and corn, as well as numerous fruits and vegetables. This
region's agricultural practices combine traditional ways passed down
through generations with contemporary ones introduced through agricultural
development initiatives. The community's livelihood is heavily reliant on
these agricultural activities, making it an ideal location for evaluating
agricultural techniques and production.

Given the extensive scope of this study, it is expected that it will take
about 12 weeks to complete. The first four weeks will be spent developing
research tools and acquiring required licenses. The following six weeks will
be spent gathering data, including conducting interviews and focus group
discussions with farmers, agricultural experts, and important stakeholders in

8
Barangay Vintar. The remaining two weeks will be dedicated to data
analysis and report writing. This timetable enables a full and detailed

9
 To carry out this strategy, a team of researchers would distribute
questionnaires to a representative sample of farmers from Barangay Vintar.
The researchers would explain the study's goal and provide participants
instructions on how to complete the surveys. Farmers would be given a
fixed timeline to complete and submit surveys.

Once the surveys are gathered, the researchers will assemble and
analyze the data. This might entail tabulating the replies and computing
percentages to estimate the prevalence of particular farming practices and
issues. The information gathered using this technique would give useful
insights into the existing condition of agricultural practices and production in
Barangay Vintar.

Sampling Technique

Purposive sampling selects participants based on particular criteria

that are consistent with the study aims. In this situation, researchers can
carefully choose farmers, agricultural specialists, and important players in
Barangay Vintar who have substantial knowledge and expertise with
agricultural methods. This sampling approach guarantees that participants
have the appropriate skills to give useful insights about local agriculture
practices and productivity.
