What is it? A systems approach to livelihood devt consisting of: • Training –Technology Transfer – Execution Workshops
• Showing how 1,000 sqm farms with 24 sqm pig house
• Using natural, organic and microbial technology
• With support organization, networked into supply chain
Can end HUNGER and POVERTY - 2 biggest problems in Philippines today - Establish a RESILIENCE plan and mindset - One farmer family at a time.
Bangon Mini-Farms Project: “Million Farmers Rising”
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 !
Bangon Mini-Farms Project: “Million Farmers Rising”
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.
Bangon Mini-Farms Project: “Million Farmers Rising”
3. NO single or specialized use: - Items produced are part of daily food needs
4. 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
Bangon Mini-Farms Project: “Million Farmers Rising”
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.
