Abstract:
This policy brief series is developed for policy-makers, to help improve their understanding on existing gaps between national and local policies in relation to smallholder investments in Vegetable- Agroforestry (VAf) in the Philippines. In the fi rst brief, we presented a snapshot of the policy environment surrounding VAf. We highlighted the importance of developing local policies to address particular needs of smallholders, where national policies are slow to address. In the second brief, we discussed the roles of smallholders in national economic development as embodied in the Magna Carta for Small Farmers. In this brief, we highlight the experience of Lantapan Municipality in developing an incentive-based policy to promote VAf as a locally-appropriate adaptation and mitigation action (LAAMA) to climate change.
