Decision Support System for Enhancing Climate Change Resiliency of Smallholder Upland Farmers in Selected Communities of CALABARZON, Philippines

Climate Change / By

Climate change impacts on the social and ecological aspects of food production threaten the food security of the farming households and nearby communities. It is high time, therefore, to investigate on the appropriate decision support system that would enhance farmers’ resiliency to climate change impacts. This project was implemented to help upland communities cope with …

Integration of Traditional and Modern Bioproduction Systems for a Sustainable and Resilient Future Under Climate Ecosystems Changes (ITMoB)

Climate Change / By

The study aims to determine which combinations of traditional bioproduction systems and modern bioproduction systems are most likely to lead to a sustainable and resilient future in the Philippines. The project is envisioned to improve watershed governance by instituting science-based decision-making among LGU and DENR and other institutional partners.

Changing Patterns: Implications for Agricultural Policies and Innovation

Mango / By

Government and private sector initiatives for the growth of the mango industry, such as developing policies, strengthening R&D efforts, and introducing S&Ts, have been implemented. However, a comprehensive and sustainable plan of action can enhance these initiatives. The project titled “Changing Patterns in social, demographic and economic condition of farmers in plantation crops production systems: …

Protein-based detection kit

Mango / By

A previous study developed a protein-based detection kit for identifying true-to-type Philippine “Carabao” mango using antiserum generated from protein markers. This kit was able to discriminate the carabao varieties from the non-carabao types. However, before this technology is brought to the users, this dipstick should be validated. This proposed project will pilot test and validate …

Molecular markers for scab and stem-end rot resistance

Mango / By

There is a great need to improve ‘Carabao’ mango since its susceptibility to diseases results in low yield and poor quality of mango fruits. Molecular marker-assisted breeding has been instrumental in the development of new varieties in many crops. In this regard, a project on improvement of ‘Carabao’ Mango Production and Fruit Quality through Quantitative …

Capability Enhancement of Local Laboratories in the Determination of Inorganic Toxic Elements in Aquacultured Milkfish through Proficiency Testing Scheme

Milkfish / By

Aquaculture contributes significantly to the country’s food supply, employment and national income. However, the continuous use of surface waters as sink for domestic and industrial wastes introduces hazardous toxic elements in the aquatic environment. These toxic elements make their way in biological systems such as the country’s primary aquacultural produce. With consumers and regulatory bodies …
