 RELATED LITERATURE
• Development initiatives or organizations
who seek to decrease poverty are
focused on improving small local farms
and their productivity, mainly due to
the fact that most local farmers live in
rural areas where agriculture is the
main source of livelihood. (Konig et al
2019).
 RELATED LITERATURE
• The changing types of agribusiness
definitely affected numerous local plant
and creature populations. In the
endeavors to lessen these negative effects
on biodiversity, various agrarian
organizations started cultivating in a more
environmentally friendly way; new types
of incorporated and natural cultivating
showed up (Salek et al., 2013)
 RELATED STUDIES
• According to (Martin et al., 2013), this
study aimed to help people be more
aware of the ever-changing strategies
that farmers use to cope with climate
change, increasing food demand,
scarcity if natural resources, volatile
input and out prices, rising energy costs
and administrative regulation.
 RELATED STUDIES
• A study by (Bruggen et al., 2016) stated
that this study brings to light the
benefits of organic farming systems and
since most farms in Bulacan do not
fully optimize technology into the
farming systems farmers use, Organic
Farming Systems is often being used.
