Learning alliance approaches to scaling out vegetable value chains in the southern Philippines

This project aimed to understand how farmer associations in the southern Philippines can be transformed to self directed learning entities through developing social and human capitals.

Additionally, the project examined capabilities and assets required to support value chains, and improvement in community well-being and women’s contribution.

Philippines has a predominantly rural society with more than 80 percent of the population relying on agriculture for their livelihoods. Agriculture is the primary source of income for rural communities, most of whom depend on subsistence farming and fishing for their livelihoods.
