Finally, the government has shown support for organic farming through Executive Order (EO) 481 in support to Intergovernmental organization's (NGO's) advocacy for organic agriculture/farming.

Actually, we are propagating the program for Organic Farming here in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR). One example of this is the Organic Vegetable farming in Benguet Province and other provinces here. There is actually a place where you can buy organic vegetables here particularly in the town of La Trinidad,Benguet adjacent to Baguio City and also a restaurant serving organic vegetables and foods. We are also promoting here the organic Coffee thru the OTOP or the "One-Town-One-Product concept". In Benguet the OTOP is Organic Coffee...

PRESS RELEASE
Department of Agriculture
RFU 5 San Agustin, Pili, Camarines Sur

March 31, 2008

Cong. Villafuerte to launch Organic Vegetable Production Project

Over 1,200 families and their dependents in 60 barangays of 9 municipalities in the 2nd district of Camarines Sur province are assured of a year-round supply of organically grown vegetables for home consumption and will have an additional source of income. The project initiated by Congressman Luis R. Villafuerte in partnership with the Department of Agriculture is set to be launched this April. The project also hopes to promote the value and sustainability of organic farming.

Under this project, 20 family beneficiaries will be chosen from every barangay by the LGUs. Each participating family should have a 200- square meter area and must be willing to plant 3-5 kinds of vegetables of their choice from among the 8 kinds of vegetables seeds to be provided by the office of Congressman Villafuerte. The choice for vegetable seeds include: okra, pechay, tomato, eggplant, pole sitao, upo, squash and upland kangkong.

There shall be 2 plots for every vegetable type - each plot measuring 1 x 20 for every vegetable type. Organic fertilizer will be provided to the participating families. However, there are options either to use organic fertilizers, or a combination of organic plus Essential Microorganisms (EM) and traditionally produced organic fertilizer and/or application of vermicompost. As their counterpart, the participating families aside from providing the lot shall assume the labor and plant three (3) malunggay cuttings as this once lowly crop is known for its rich nutritional value and is now being produced commercially. The DA will provide fruit bearing trees and 1 coconut seedling to add to the vegetable crops to be planted and tended by the recipient-family.

The participating municipalities are: Gainza, Milaor, Camaligan, Canaman, Magarao, Bombon, Calabanga, Ocampo, and Pili. An orientation seminar for the municipal and regional training teams will be conducted by the Camarines Sur Agricultural College on April 8, 2008. The project launching will follow soon after.

Organic baga ang pig po promote ngonyan ta natural way ang course kang pag-produce ki gulay/prutas dai na kaipuhan? ang fertilizer. Su tanom sa natad na gulay/prutas na dai pigbudbudan ki fertilizer pag inani: Organic vegetables/fruits. Su nakabuhing manok na maski ano na sana ang pigkakaon pag kinatay : organic chicken. Dakul ang habo na kang may fertilizer ta kung ano anong helang ang nagluluwas ngonyan. Mas preferred kang kadaklan su gulay/prutas o animales na naturally grown/raised. Probinsya style.
Igwang tindahan ki organic stuff, organic din ang presyo. "Whole" foods ang pangaran kang tindahan, kung duman ka mag grocery halos "whole" paycheck ang gastos mo. Dai, gusto ko lang sabihon, mas mahal pag may label/sticker na Certified Organic, dakula talaga ang diperensiya kang presyo.
Bilang consumer, minsan pig-iisip ko, ano kaya ini? Sticker sanang idinukot para masabing organic o mabakal na sana ako kang baratong gulay/prutas na may fertilizer, baratong manok na ininiksyunan ki steroid na garo na muscles nina Rambo/Hulk ang amount kang meat? (Pag nag-breakdown na ang pagkaon sa lawas ta, su end product kaibanan na su fertilizer/steroid maralaog na an sa cells kang satuyang hawak). Dangan mag-inom na sana ning galon-galon na tubig para ma flush-out sa lawas su gabos na fertilizer/steroids sa mga pigkaon ?

pepeng mulat : uni tabi an pwede kongmai-contribute sa gigibohon nindong feasiblity study regarding COMPOSTING. Dikit lang ini pero makakatabang man. Pakibasa nalang tabi sa baba:

COMPOSTING

What YOU can do: The basic compost recipe

The basic recipe for efficient decomposition combines lots of carbonaceous material (dry leaves, wood chips, twigs and straw) with fresh yard trimmings, grass, vegetable and fruit peels and coffee grounds. Mix, then "cook." This happens through the energy generated by the microorganisms, which heats a compost pile to 150 degrees at its core. "If you add about half brown to half green, your pile should start cooking," Raver writes. Good compost should be ready in 60 to 90 days.

In a free-form PILE or in a BIN?

Out of doors, loosen the soil first to activate microorganisms, then lay down branches or corn stalks to promote air circulation. Michael Pollan advises, "...it's best to begin a compost pile with a bit of compost, on the same principle as sourdough bread making." Layers the uncontained pile, alternating six-to-eight inch layers of raw organic stuff with a sprinkling of manure, dried blood or cottonseed meal, then a two-inch layer of soil.

Whether you let your compost decompose in plain air or in a container, keep turning your pile, which adds cold matter to the core and provides oxygen to beneficial microbes. Keep it slightly damp, but add dry leaves if the pile starts to stink.

Warning: Keep out meat, fish, bones, grease and cheese; they attract rats. Also, oily things tend to stay preserved.

It's all about the environment. The air that we breath, the water that we drink, the food that we eat and the cosmetics that we use. Even if you practice organic farming but if the air is polluted it will affect your plants, if the water that you use is full o e.coli the plant will absrurb it, if you use bioscide it means suicide, if you use non-bio organic soap it will affect your soil.

Here's an idea for those interested to produce their own organic fertilizer. Go to Rizal beach every morning and collect all the seaweeds on the beach, it will make the area clean, then use the seaweeds as a medium to start your fertilize production.

Or start buying the near decaying rice stalks at P50/sack, use trycoderma an presto you have an instant fertilizer. However, the effect of said fertilizer well be slower than the commercial one, but it will benefit the soil for at least two years.

Coupled with the idea, start planting neem tree to be used as your organic perticide. It will never kill any insect even mosquito or fly but don't be disheartened, if you spray your plant with the seed of this plant they will become impotent, so they can never reproduce anymore. Please do not ask me if it is applicable to humans.

There's a lot more to follow. . . .

BL, I am all for organic farming--or as I'd prefer to call it, synthetic chemical-free food production, pero ano daw an effect sa ibang hayop na nag kakaon kan flies and mosquitoes, kun diit na sana su saindong kaka-onon?

I like the idea of promoting the habitat of insects and birds that eat flies and mosquitos and other pests. Aw inda...minakulog an payo ko pag pig-isip ko an inter-dependence of all God's creation

I think Bikol, therefore I am Bikolana.

Poon kan pinaki-araman kan mga tawo an ginibo kan Dios, binabayaran ta ini gabos. Malangaw, maglinig, habo ta ma-spray na sana. Habo kan kubong kaya mosquito coil na sana, Mas madali, mas maray kaya baga mas madali an buhay, mala nasulo an harong huli kan katol.

Dai ka mahandal na dai nang makakaon an gamgam na namok buda langaw, ta mawawara naman an gamgam, sa mga Zoo na sana mahihiling asin sa Internet. An mga kadlagan, anas na sanang pungo. Pagnag-baha siisay an babasulon. Maapod "Dios ko, Dios ko" huri na.

Buhayon ta daw tabi an torsidong ini ta sigun sa sakuyang pag masid, dakulang tabang ini sa satu asin sa mga masunod pang henerasyon. Kan nakaaging sobra 32 anyos tabi, nagkaigwa nin proyekto an gobyerno sa Polangui asin mga kataid na lugar na magtanum nin mangga. Saro na ako sa mga nakisumaro sa mga technician na magtanum kaini. Ngunian na presenti nagbuburunga na su mga mangga pero dahil sa an lokasyon kan sakung manggahan harayo sa Manila. Masasabi kong dai akong market kan mangga. Nata? Mas dakula ang gastos ko sa kabaklan kan mangga ko.

Saro pa tabi... igua akong 11 ektaryang kalamansi-an (masuwa) sa Polangui, pero arog kan mangga dai man ining market ta daog kan kalamansi na hali sa Davao.

An sakuyang punto, dai kitang insentibo asin tabang na hali sa gobyerno manunungod sa mga proyectong ini. Pag panahon nin mangga, dakul an mangga. Nalalapa ta dai na kayang kaonon. Kaipuhan gayud na iguang proyekto an gobiyerno na arog kan processing plant para mapreserba an mangga para e-export sa ibang nasyon. Arog man kan kalamansi (suwa) pede man ining e-puree para e-export man o pansadiring konsumo.

Igua na man akong ginibong mga project study kaini, pero mahal an mga kagamitan. Makatakot ta diyan baga sato sa Pilipinas ararog-arog. Kun ararugan dadaugon kita kan mga mayayaman. Tibaad dai maka-uli an kapital ta, herac man satuya kun isusugal ta su satuyang pinag-pagalan.

An saru pa palan, an pagtutubo. Masakit tabing marhay ta an presyo kan mamis, kontrolado sa ngunian kan mga negosyante. Sa ngunian, an presyo tabi kan mamis Php 15.00 an sarong takop sa Polangui. Gurano tabi ngunian diyan sa indo sa Tabako, Catanduanes, Sorsogon, Masbate, Samar, Leyte, Naga asin Daet. Kun siisay man tabi saindo an taga digdi sa mga nabanggit na lugar na ini, kaipuhan mi man tabi an saindong feedback kun gurano diyan saindo an sarong takop na mamis?

Iyan tabi an mga problema ko bilang paratanum. Tibaad tabi igua kamong feedback o aram na mas marhay na paagi, welcome tabi digdi. Nagtatanum tabi ako bako na para sa sakuya ta saru na akong retirado. Gusto ko po lamang makatabang sa mga saradit na paratanum samuya sa Polangui.

Mabalos po tabi sa gabos.

There's a lot of ways to raise organic crops. I learned from books, friends, experienced and/or accident. 10 years ago, I discovered that most plants like cold soil as long as their leaves are exposed to direct sun. I've planted purple yam (ube) under the shade of large trees. From sapling it grows real fast chasing that sunlight, then vines and leaves shoot up on top of the tree. The leaves soaks up the sun and keeps growing until the freeze kills it (winter). The result is very rewarding. My ube are 4 times larger than ones planted in the open and without shade. It is also great for Citrus (oranges, grapefruits and pomelos). I have a 20ft grapefruit tree, my house and fences on 2 sides hide its trunk and roots/soil from the sun. I did well on Ampalaya, yardlong bean(sitaw) and eggplants. I didn't have a good luck Okra though!
