PURPOSEOFTHEPROJECTLanddegradationinthePhilippinesislargelycausedbythesusceptibilityofitssoiltoerosionduetothehillyandmountainouslandformsinmanypartsofthecountry.Thewidespreadclearingofforestlandsinsteeplyslopingandrollingtopographyleavesthebaresoilhighlyvulnerabletoacceleratederosion of topsoil causedby heavy rainfall and consequential erosive force ofwater run-off. Thepracticeofkaingin(orshiftingcultivation)andotherformsofunsuitableuplandfarminginclearedforestareasfurtherworsenstheerosionproblemandlossoffertileandproductivetopsoils.Landdegradation in the Philippines is manifested by (i) the loss of productive topsoil throughwatererosion, (ii) lossofsoil fertilityduetoover-cultivation, (iii) lossofvegetationcoverdueto illegalloggingandwidespreadforesttreecutting,and(iv)expansionofslashandburnagricultureincriticalslopes.Otherkindsofdegradationwhichcoverarelativelysmallerpartofthelandscapeinclude(i)water logging due to poor drainage and water management; (ii) soil salinization due to over-harvesting of ground water near coastal areas; and (iii) soil pollution from excessive pesticideapplicationandcontaminationbyindustrialandhouseholdwastes.

Theprojectfocusedprincipallyatthesystemicandinstitutionallevels,andhencestrengthenedtheenablingregulatory,institutionalandfinancialframeworkthatwouldgoverneffortstoaddresslanddegradation in thePhilippines. ItmainstremedSustainableLandManagement (SLM)policiesandprograms into the Comprehensive LandUse plans of local government units (LGUs) through theguidance of government agencies such as Department of Agriculture (DA), Department ofEnvironmentandNaturalResources(DENR),DepartmentofAgrarianReform(DAR),DepartmentofInterior and Local Government (DILG) andHousing and LandUseRegulatory Board (HLURB) tostrengthencomplementationamongthesegovernmentinstitutionsconcernedwithlanddegradationandensurethattheincidenceandspreadoflanddegradationinvulnerableecosystemsareavoidedand/orreduced.Theprojectaidintheimprovementofthelandproductivityandsocioeconomicwell-beingofsmallfarmers.Thiswasachievedthroughaparticipatorycross-sectoralapproachinvolvingallthekeystakeholdersinprojectdesignandimplementation.Thefocusinthefieldinvestmentsofthe project, is the promotion of SLMmeasures and technologies for the adoption of vulnerablefarming communities.

REPORTONOTHERCROSS-CUTTINGISSUESTheImplementationofSLMPracticestoAddressLandDegradationandMitigateEffectsofDroughtaddressescross-sectoralissuescoveringSocial,Environmental,EconomicandInstitutionalconcerns.Land degradation is a global problem that is both aggravated by the changing climate andunregulatedhumanactivities.ThePhilippinesishighlysusceptibletothisgiventhecountry’snaturalhillyandmountainouslandscapewhichmakesitvulnerabletonaturaldisastersandclimatechange.Withlimitedflatlandssuitableforintensiveagriculturalactivities,growingpopulationinthecountryandincreasingdemandforurbanizationpushessmallandlandlessfarmerstocultivatelessdesirablelandsresultingtoprogressivedeterioration.Traditionalfarmingpracticessuchasslashandburnandwidespread tree cutting contribute immensely to the continuous depletion of nutrients and soilerosionthatleadstothecripplingofthecountry’sagriculturallandproductivity.Iflanddegradationremainsunmitigatedandaddressed,notonlywillitaffecttheoverallbalanceofsupplyanddemandoffoodcommodityinthecountry,butitwillalsoaffectthestabilityofincomeofsmallfarmersandtheirchancestowiggleoutofpoverty.Landdegradationthen isbothanenvironmentalandasocio-economicconcern.Thoughthemainstrategyistoaddresslanddegradationthroughsystemicandinstitutionalmechanisms--wherethefocus is on policy and structural improvements and enhancement of technical supports of thenational to the local level--involvement of local farmers and local experts were also seen as animportant component in responding to the problem of land degradation. Capacitating the localexecutivesthroughinstitutionalandtechnicalsupports inthedevelopmentoftheir localstrategicplanswasanapproachusedbytheprojecttoarresttheproblemoflanddegradationatthemunicipalandregionallevelasthemanagementandregulationoflandsandlandusesareunderthejurisdictionofthelocalgovernments.However,behavioralchangesamongthelocalfarmersisalsoasimportant.Theprojectrecognizestheknowledge-gapbetweenscientistsandresearchers,and farmers in theunderstandingof landdegradation.Often,farmersmeasureproductivityofthelandsolelythroughtheamountofyieldtheyproduceandadapt their farmingpractices through that lens.Nevertheless, there are elements intraditional farming practices that are often overlooked by scientists. Hence, the project tried toaddress that gap through scientifically enhancing traditional and already existing agriculturalpractices andeducating farmersofmore sustainable andadaptive landmanagementpractices toproperlyaddresstheuniqueproblemstheyencounterintheirownfarmlands.AsinthecaseofMalaybalayCity,protectedforest landshavealreadygivenwaytointensivecornfarming.Thecurrentagricultureuseofelevatedforest lands is indirectviolationofexisting localregulations. This is a perfect case of balancing the lens of environmental soundness and socio-economicresponsivenessoftheprojectintervention.Theproject’sfocuson“adaption”ratherthan“adoption”seestherealityoflivelihooddependenceofmajorityoffarmersintocornfarming.Insteadoftotallybanningintensivecornfarminginelevatedforestlandsandtakingawaythemainsourceoflivelihoodofthesefarmers,theprojectintroducedagro-forestryasaninterventionmechanismwhichintend to slowly change the farming practices and decrease the dependence of farmers to cornfarming.
