    The Philippines is an agricultural country with a land area of 30 million hectares, 47% of which is agricultural land. In the Philippines, prime agricultural lands are located around the main urban and high population density areas. Due to the rapid growth of our population, food demand increases but the supply is insufficient to provide the needs of all people, since the demand is high, but the supplies are low making most of the foods especially agricultural products unaffordable particularly to the poor people in both rural and urban areas. About half of the Philippines’ 88 million people live in rural areas. Poverty is most severe and most widespread in these areas and almost 80 per cent of the country’s poor people live there. Agriculture is the primary and often only source of income for poor rural people, most of whom depends on subsistence farming and fishing for their livelihoods. There are substantial differences in the level of poverty between the regions and provinces and the poverty gap between urban and rural areas is widening.…
