Operation:Balik Sigla sa Lupa is being deliberated to be implemented PROJECT ABSTRACT with the framework of Agroforestry (Discuss your background story here and and Land and Water Conservation. briefly introduce your project) Agroforestry, community supported agriculture, vermiculture, community composting, drip irrigation and rain water harvesting are the instrument to be used to acquire a community farm that is sustainable and organic. By efficiently utilizing available land it helps to improve the productivity of it.
To overturn the unused land into
OBJECTIVES sustainable and organic community (Provide your specific and measurable farm that provides for all and promote objectives) land productivity.
ACTIVITIES AND TIMELINE Preliminary research and
(Give the particular activities that your group planning (3-7weeks): will undertake to achieve your objectives. - Identify potential locations for the Provide corresponding timeline) community farm. - Determine the goals and objectives of the community farm. - Conduct interviews or surveys to assess community interest and involvement. - Create a budget and seek potential sources of funding or grants. Form a community farming group (5-8 weeks): - Organize meetings to inform and engage interested community members. - Create a steering committee or a core group of individuals to lead the project. - Assign roles and responsibilities within the group. Design and infrastructure development (1-2 months): - Develop a master plan for the community farm, including crop areas, common spaces, and infrastructure. - Construct fences, gates, and irrigation systems as needed. - Establish a water source, either through wells, rainwater harvesting, or cooperative agreements. - Build common facilities like a toolshed, composting area, and community gathering space. Farm management and operations (ongoing): - Develop a farming schedule and crop rotation plan. - Establish organic farming practices and seek certification if desired. - Delegate tasks and responsibilities among community members. - Host regular meetings to discuss operational issues, make decisions, and plan for the future BUDGETARY REQUIREMENTS Chicken (5x200)=800 (Provide the needed amount and projected Duck (3x300) =900 expenditures) Goat (2x3000)=6,000 Water Pipe/Hose= 12,000(100 meter) Irrigation Kit= 5,600 (Filter/regulator, timer, Y-valve, wire and plastic stakes, feeder lines and more) Water Tank= 12,300( 100 L) Cabbage=58 Eggplant=58 Tomato=38 Onion=68 Garlic=39 Lemon Grass=45 Bell Pepper =190 Squash =250 Papaya=300 Lumber= 10,000 Net (10 meter x118)=1.118 Nails= 300 Contingency= 5,000
MONITORING AND EVALUATION First, to monitor important outcomes,
(Discuss measures on how to monitor and regular data collection and analysis evaluate the success of your project) can be put into place. Obtaining data on crop yields, livestock productivity, and total farm production are a few examples of this. Measuring the farm's productivity and efficiency involves comparing this data to predetermined benchmarks or standards.
In order to acquire qualitative
information on the satisfaction levels, knowledge acquired, and general impact of the farm on the community, surveys and interviews can also be done with farmers, volunteers, and members of the community. This input can offer insightful information on how well the farm engages and serves the community. To examine the farm's financial viability, financial evaluations should also be conducted. This may entail keeping an eye on cost-effectiveness, expense control, and money production. An understanding of the farm's future sustainability and development and expansion possibilities can be gained by analyzing its financial performance. Setting defined objectives and targets at the outset is crucial for conducting an efficient evaluation of the community farm's performance. This makes it possible to conduct a focused examination using pre-established standards and metrics. In general, community farms may make well- informed decisions and continuously enhance their activities for the mutual benefit of the farm and the community it serves by putting in place a methodical monitoring and assessment procedure.
