82% of Philippine farm lands have moderate to low fertility
A significant portion of Philippine farmlands (around 82%) is now considered to have moderate to low soil fertility, with some areas experiencing severe degradation. On top of the 2.2 million hectares that suffer from “insufficient levels of soil fertility,” around 11 to 13 million hectares are “considered degraded.” This alarming state of our farmlands was reported by the Bureau of Soil and Water Management of the Department of Agriculture.
What led to this?
Unsustainable agricultural practices, has driven the degradation of our soil fertility over the years. While soil fertility is affected by various factors, the general trend shows that it is related to the increasing reliance on inorganic fertilizers. As agriculture has progressed its methods, reports of organic matter depletion and issues relating to negative soil nutrient balance as well as onset of secondary and micronutrient deficiencies have emerged. There is a declining trend in productivity even with mineral fertilizer applications under modern intensive farming methods.
Do you experience this on your farm?
Decreasing harvest or low productivity
Increasing need for fertilizer inputs to maintain yield
Crops are vulnerable to disease
High soil acidity
The answer is not MORE CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS.
It’s time to implement nature-based and science-backed solutions.
The answer lies in
feeding your soil.
