I. RATIONALE

Majority of the residents of the Municipality of Tubod are food-, nutrition- and income-
deficient. Their condition is periodically aggravated by calamities such as typhoons,
floods and drought. Last December 22, 2017, the Municipality of Tubod, Lanao del
Norte was devastated by the Tropical Storm Vinta. Barangay Dalama was mainly hit
by TS Vinta resulted to loss of lives especially to those living along Cabuyao River.
The people’s livelihood was also affected because their main source of living was in
farming. Farming of high-value crops like of coconut, banana, corn and vegetables.
Their draft animals mostly horses were gone when flash flood came, they used those
horses to carry their goods across the Cabuyao River down to the business center.
Furthermore, the recent increases in food prices have made them even more food
vulnerable. This situation is further aggravated by climate change this will increase
the planet temperature, decrease yields and result in unpredicted weather.

Tubod presently has a 4.9% malnutrition rate as of 2017. The municipality made sure
that it will be lessened. Still, the battle is on in fighting poverty and looking for
strategies to mitigate and provide safe and sufficient food for the municipality. There
is a need to make sure that there is sufficient food in the community that can also be
a source for additional income for families.

The situation has made it difficult for the target project beneficiaries to have enough
food year-round. This is partly because they have depended mainly on rice and corn
as their basic food. Only a small portion of these people, in particular, those who
have rice lands, have the capacity to produce rice. The rests, usually buy rice with
their meager salaries. Those who are not gainfully employed usually suffer the most.

The need for the Establishment of Dairy Goat Multiplier Farm with Forage Production
Project is to address the above problem in partnership with the Local Government
Unit (LGU) by expanding the food base and promoting a sustainable food production
and consumption system in food- and nutrition-deficient households/communities.
The proposed program will enable poor people, whether farmers or not, to produce
carbohydrate-, vitamin-, mineral-, fiber- and protein-rich foods around their homes.

It is envisioned that the project will help the food-, nutrition- and income-vulnerable
people in the project sites. It will immediately provide initial nutritious food to
participating beneficiaries in a period of 2-3 months and sustainable food supply in a
period of one year. The participants will be trained to sustain the project even after
termination of the requested program funding. The program will be a “no-regrets”
intervention, which has been found to be beneficial in times of calamities as well as
under normal times.

The proposed project will not only help poor people bolt out of hunger and
malnutrition over the long term. It will 1) reduce poverty by generating sustainable
food for the poor; 2) address the gender concerns as majority of project participants
will be women who will produce food and incomes around their homes; 3) promote
education through massive training to expand the food and income base of the
needy; and 4) protect the environment through planting assorted vegetables and
using organic fertilizers to reduce the use of polluting chemical fertilizers.

II. OBJECTIVES

General Objective

The project aims to make nutritious foods readily available among poor
families, and to provide poor families opportunity to increase family income by 5-10%
through efficient marketing of goat’s milk and livestock.

Page 2
Specific Objective

1. To practice integrated farming systems through the Establishment of Dairy

Goat Multiplier Farm with Forage Production Project.
2. To educate and encourage farmers to practice Integrated Farming System
(IFS).
3. To increase production and income by 5-10% through efficient marketing of
vegetables, and livestock.
4. To conduct training on integrated crop and livestock production (forage and
livestock production) to 80 farmer beneficiaries.
5. To provide inputs of forage and livestock to 80 farmer-beneficiaries

III. ACTIVITIES

Present Activities

Currently, the identified farmer-beneficiaries are using a single crop

production of their farm throughout the year. The produce from this cropping system
is their main source of income, which is barely enough to support the family’s basic
need.

Planned Activities

The project intends to engage on the cultivation of assorted forages and

livestock milking, fattening and breeding. The farmers will be taught of the
appropriate technology of Integrated Farming System (IFS) through training and
provision of assorted forages, fertilizers and livestock. The 15 Dairy Goat (female)
and 1 male shall be placed in the Tubod Municipal Demo Farm for Breeding and
Milking Production and the other 60 Dairy Goat (female) and 4 male shall be divided
and placed in one and common area in different location at Brgy. Dalama with at
least 1.0 hectare provision for the forage area and another 1.0 hectare for the
establishment of goat house and grazing area.

IV. EXPECTED OUTPUT

1. Training conducted; and

2. Extension Support Provided

 V. BENEFICIARY

The Municipal Agriculture Office and the Farmers Association, Rural

Improvement Club, 4H Club and the ARC Cooperative from Barangay Dalama,
Tubod, Lanao del Norte shall managed the Dairy Goat Project in Four (4) locations.
They were selected since they are fitted with the criteria given by the implementing
agency. Generally, the beneficiaries will produce both goat’s milk and livestock
through fattening, milking, and breeding that the waste products from one
component of the system will be used as a resource for the other component.
Through this concept, the beneficiaries will be able to generate income, have enough
food in the long run without putting into risk our environment. When the beneficiaries
are equipped enough with the right package of technology and ready to stand alone
they will be able to impart their learning to other farmer.

II. SUSTAINABILITY PLAN

To make the above interventions sustainable the following shall be undertaken/

established:

a) Assorted Forage Production.The beneficiaries will be provided with forage

seeds, fertilizers and equipment and tools. Only the best forage available will
be procured and will be used, so that the 60 identified beneficiaries can
repeatedly use the harvested mature seeds/seedlings for subsequent planting
to provide sustainable source of planting materials.

b) Livestock Fattening, Milking and Breeding. The farmer beneficiary (FA,

RIC, 4H Club and ARC Cooperative) and the Municipal Demo Farm will be
given 15 heads of Female Dairy Goats and 1 head of Male Dairy Goat to be
fattened, milked and breed. They will select from among the livestock which is
good for milking and breeding, the beneficiary will process the goat’s milk
produce in the processing center to be located at the Municipal Demo Farm
and the others are for breeding for the next cycle of production and the feeds
are bought through out of their income.
