The study aimed to answer the following questions:
- How did organic farming (OF) and sustainable agriculture (SA) emerge in the Philippines?
- What are the prospects of its growth and diffusion?
- Are the adopters of OF/SA the gainers in the lagging farm sector?
- Has OF/SA significantly helped alleviate poverty? If it has, but only to a limited scale, what has constrained its reach?
- Would organic farming and sustainable agriculture, as practiced today, enable a segment of the rural-agriculture-based population to attain improved household economic conditions?
