FACTS & FIGURES

35 and more out-of-school youth have been trained in Basic Machine Shop work.

5 are skilled in the installation of Hydraulic Rampumps.

2 modularities for the System of Rice Intensification takes place within PASALI: 1. PASALI Philippine Foundation trains and organizes farmers into cooperatives 2. the Rice Contract Farm works with a business core but exists to see farmers achieve land redemption of their mortgaged land.

11 Tri-people SRI farmers cooperatives ranging between 15 – 45 members practice

ecological sustainable System of Rice Intensification (including upland rice production by Indigenous People cooperatives) with more to join this year

4 SRI planting innovations (like the modified dapog, use of banana trunks, sabog in combination with mechanized rotary weeder, and use of styrofoam plates)

4 innovations in SRI production: 1) SRI seed selection using salt and egg as physical method, 2) innovation in combining SRI with the rice check method, 3) innovation in combining SRI with the concept of LEISA, 4) combination of guano and vermicast as main organic fertilizer

200 and more Moro, settler and Indigenous farmers now practice SRI

300 and more farmers and agriculturists received training in PASALI’s Farm Support Scheme – System of Rice Intensification in 2010 alone. They came from Palimbang and all over Mindanao: Cotabato, Bukidnon, Columbio, Davao and many more.

1 HP rotary weeder in 2 designs by PASALI specifically for SRI and is light enough to be used by elderly and women.

3 HP rotary weeder of 1 design is made. 6 HP rotary weeder of 1 design is made. 2 manual rotary weeder designs available.

21 motorless water systems since 2009 are installed by PASALI’s Installation crew for upland Tri-People communities (commissioned by local government, private, and NGO) and they still provide clean water. The design of the water system is by partner AIDFI who won the BBC World Challenge 2010 for its hydraulic rampump

“Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.” - Kofi Anan

Center for Field Exchanges and the System of Rice Intensification PASALI Philippine Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Mindanao,

Philippines founded by former Filipino migrants in the Netherlands. Their main idea was to bring home not only the hard-earned savings but also technologies and skills learned abroad and invest it in service of local development. It is in intertwining remittance, knowledge transfer, and partnerships with private sector, national government and foreign entities, that migrants can play a tremendous positive role in development, establish food security and develop schemes towards poverty alleviation which can lead to rural development and lasting peace. PASALI’s founding concept is entitled “From Brain Drain to Brain Gain” and has three important elements: 1) contribution to rural and peace development

2) challenge youth to be partner in enterprise and development 3) contribution to the reintegration of migrants in their home place Since technological transfer is at its core, education and trainings are PASALI’s regular activities (page 8-9 list PASALI’s trainings and activities ongoing and completed trainings and activities since 2005). Last year marked a considerable growth in this, as it hosted over 300 farmers and agriculturists from all over Mindanao for training in the System of Rice Intensification; a rice production system with less water, no chemical input, and less costs. The continuous demand for SRI training indicates a great need for a learning center to be placed amid fields of the seasoned SRI practitioners in Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat, Mindanao. This learning center would work to make Palimbang the SRI capital of the province, and

accomodate other sustainable agricultural schemes, such as the System of Upland Rice and Corn Intensification for upland communities, the new Sustainable Urban Gardening Scheme (SUGa), facilitate rubber production in the area. Ideally, participants would come in for a few days receive lectures from farmer technicians with power points, an instruction video, banners, discussions in the fields of local SRI practitioners and practicum at the Rice Contract Farm.

Teaching and Learning Approach As PASALI’s approach is deeply grassroots, so are its teaching methods. SRI trainers are not staff but farmer practicioners turned technicians who have undergone

trainers-trainings by expert trainers, teaching and materials are based on input drawn from the life of trainees, focus is given for handling equipments used for production, enstilling the drive for production experimentation and innovations, and everything is centered around actual practice in and on the rice field. PASALI’s methods of training are all centered around the four core values (see figure 1, page 4) with the following points deeply embedded: - Environmental Sustainability - Economic Sustainability & Self-Reliance - Conflict Resolution & Peace Building - Technological-savyy Communities

Beneficiaries: the Marginalized Farmers

With these three goals in mind, PASALI targets the following beneficiaries directly:

- The marginalized in rural communities of Mindanao’s conflict areas: Tri-people farmers households (Moro, settler, IP), Indigenous People villages, women, children, and the elderly

- Youth: out-of-school and the educated searching for work

And indirectly: - Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) and their families

PASALI believes migrants and their families are capable of contributing to structural change. Thus, PASALI consciously attracts members of these families, especially youth and women in service of rural development.

5 PASALI Philippines Foundation FSS-SRI Trainings

Sustainable Development Strategy I: Farm Support Scheme – System of Rice Intensification In 2005 PASALI established a Technical Center in Palimbang and began training out-of-school youth in mechanical skills (see List Trainings). From this center PASALI identified the issues confronting the Tri-people communities in Palimbang: - food shortage, especially rice - environmental and health hazards of chemical-based conventional rice farming - frequent failures of harvest with conventional methods - the absence of innovation and mechanization - continous lack of funds, victimization of shark loans

- the deeply engrained debt-cycle of land mortgaging and tenancy - conflict-ridden area - out-migration of youth to cities and abroad - and the severe marginalization of Indigenous People groups in the area PASALI responded by experimenting with organic rice farming methods – Seeds & Tools, Sustainable Ecological Agriculture (SEA), Low External Inputs for Sustainable Agriculture (LEISA) and System of Rice Intensification (SRI) - farm support elements, and farm implements between 2006 – 2009 in collaboration with local agricultural partners, knowledge from migrants of PASALI Netherlands, and local farmers themselves. The trial plot of SRI in 2006 was manned by two PASALI youth. The farmers who joined then are now expert SRI practitioners and paid off their debts

accumulated in the years of conventional rice production. In 2009, PASALI officially made the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) the core of its programs, since SRI trials had less input costs, thus higher profit margins, had the potential of higher yield, returned farmer health, and minimized environmental waste. SRI is based on organic use with “less water, fertile soil, healthier plants, greater root growth and the nurturing of soil microbial abundance and diversity” (CIIFAD). Farm Support Scheme – System of Rice Intensification: Hardware and Software Technologies

Out of these initiatives, the FARM SUPPORT SCHEME – SYSTEM OF RICE INTENSIFICATION (FSS-SRI) emerged. FSS-SRI is a multifaceted design with over 12 intervention activities and trainings on interconnected topics: e.g. methods and procedures of SRI, skills development, financial literacy, gender sensitivity, peacebuilding, technical assistance, farm loans and marketing support; all concrete responses to the identified problems of rural communities. FSS-SRI stands on four values (see figure 1, page 6) and divided into two components: the hardware and the software technologies. Hardware technologies are the designs and fabricated appropriate implements (such as the light-weight rotary weeders), water system (the hydraulic rampumps) and food processing equipment (such as the compact cornmill), and constant technological innovation. Software technologies are SRI, and modified for corn, sustainable agriculture applications, development of organic fertilizers, community building, etc. FSS-SRI is one of the two modalities or twin development strategies that PASALI employs and both have support from European and migrants’ support. The European Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst (EED) partners with PASALI from 2009 on for the systematic introduction of SRI in the area. Three farmer technicians were sent to an EED partner in Cambodia, the Centre d'Etude et de Développement Agricole Cambodgien (CEDAC) to learn the methods and procedures of SRI.

Building Communities Now, SRI is being practiced by 7 villages in Palimbang (by the end of the year this will be 13 -16) and 4 Indigenous People villages are added. Practicioners are organized into operational cooperatives with 15-45 members recognized by the Cooperative

Development Authority (CDA). IP villages have improved drastically: fformerly suffering from hunger these villages are now food secure, growing their own vegetables, and upland rice and corn organically. FSS-SRI is the concretization of PASALI’s migrant concept From Brain Drain to Brain Gain to reach food security, rural development, and peace, replicable in the entire country, to start with all of Mindanao. Technical Center: Fabrication of Farm Implements, Appropriate Technologies, and Youth In-job training The organized migrant diaspora in Europe, especially PASALI Netherlands and a Dutch partner development agency Cordaid contributed to the development of

FSS-SRI, for the set-up of the Technical Center. This center was developed further with input from Tri-people farmers, and it now designs and fabricates manual and mechanized implements for SRI and fishing. Over 35 youth have trained there, and it employs 10 young technicians (see List of Trainings). 21 water systems have been installed by PASALI technical crew – including the winning design by AIDFI of BBC World Challenge 2010, the hydraulic ram pump. Enhancing the Technical Center with a proper research and development unit and capital for fabrication would directly contribute to the practice of SRI. Further enhancement means more youth to receive technical training and employment.

FSS-SRI is Brain Gain

Sustainable Development Strategy II: Rice Contract Farming – System of Rice Intensification

With lack of funds due to armed conflict in the area and harvest failure, and especially to pay the education of their children, farmers in Palimbang mortgage their land to moneylenders on high interest rates. Farmers must till their land for the lender to lend the sum. Unfortunately harvest failures have increased and farmers were unable to pay their debt. The deficit of each cropping is added to the principal. Some farmers mortgaged their land for 75 000 pesos years ago, now owe 300 000 pesos. An estimated 80% of the 81 hectares in Kanipaan, Palimbang alone is mortgaged to three moneylenders (see table 1). Many farmers have given up hope to ever redeem their land. Whatever increase in income the farmer has with SRI goes to the pockets of landowners. Thus, SRI training and application is better for nature and profit, but without land redemption the farmer will hardly see real change.

“The evolution of PASALI’s weeder is illustrative of how the project is being implemented in Palimbang – with lots of experimentation but always with the end-users (or the beneficiaries) in mind and ending with good results.”

PASALI actively works to enable farmers redeem their lands. Pasali initiated an experiment in 2007 of Rice Contract Farming under the Overseas Pinoy Development and Investment Group (OPDIG) with support from PASALI Netherlands. Under this

scheme, an idle rice farm lands are contracted. OPDIG advanced the inputs of the farmers not in cash but in the form of material inputs such as seeds, fertilizers and pesticides. The OPDIG supplied the right technologies such as application of the right kinds of fertilizer at the right growth stages of the plants. OPDIG supposedly had its technicians to help the farmers in their farming and OPDIG buys the harvest of the farmers. To ensure that the farmers do not sell their harvest to other buyers, OPDIG bought the harvest at 50 centavos per kilo higher than the prevailing market price. This scheme was limited in several ways, due to various factors like high cost of input for hybrid rice, heightened the risks and when OPDIG shifted to organic rice farming SEA (sustainable ecological agriculture) was confronted with limited yields. Nevertheless, the biggest impact to this scheme was the participating farmers were able free their families from debts.

Mechanics Rice Contract This year PASALI starts a new Rice Contract Farm supported by PASALI Netherlands and a new partner the Dutch Migrant Consortium. In this scheme the moneylender is paid in full and farmers are developed so they will no longer need to mortgage. New is SRI as production system and farmers work as employees under the PASALI technicians rather than being paid for harvest. In this way, farmers experience the true nature of SRI to its full capacity in Mindanao. This scheme runs parallel to the foundation, has a business core for sustainability and its goal is extension of SRI. Several youth are under the SRI farm technicians for on-the-job training. This business model for rice can be extended to any interested bodies, especially overseas filipino workers and migrants with investment interests.
