Abstract:
The Philippines’ policy environment is generally supportive to vegetable agroforestry (VAF), but the benefits to smallholders remain limited. National Ievel policies are often slow in addressing the diverse and immediate needs of smallholders local policy response is thus needed to offset this gap, At the local level, policy support is needed to improve the extension system especially in improving access to new technologies, establishing market linkages and providing infrastructure support. This paper presents the experience of Lantapan Municipality in initiating a pro-smallholder incentive-based policy, to stimulate smallholder investments in VAF.
