1. You are given a ‘kaingin’ part of Mt. Makiling to help restore the environmental integrity in the area. What crops could be possibly grown and how will you proceed with the land preparation activities? 2. We are now in the fourth agricultural revolution (Agriculture 4.0) era in which digital technologies are promoted in order to 'produce more with less'. What practice in Agriculture 3.0 (Green Revolution era) can be changed as far as preparation of seeds is concerned? What digital technology could be applied in seed preparation? 3. The Philippine Government prioritizes interventions to increase vegetable production and bring down prices. Can vegetable grafting support this – why or why not? Why is vegetable grafting considered as a climate-smart agriculture technique?

As a young agriculturist, what are your observations on the implementation of AFMA? Is AFMA (Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act of 1997) still relevant? Are we really heading towards agricultural modernization?
The Philippines has long been facing different problems in the sector of agriculture. Cite two real-life scenarios/situations where you can see or observe the impacts of abiotic and biotic factors on crop production in the country. In what ways can you manage these factors to ensure agricultural productivity?
Urban farming has been increasing in popularity over the last decade or more. This practice includes the conversion of abandoned urban areas into farmland, the proliferation of rooftop gardens, and vertical farming (https://www.usda.gov/media/blog/2018/08/14/vertical-farming-future). In much of the West, we are seeing increases in extreme weather events (fires, droughts, etc.) that may negatively impact traditional farming areas. What are some of the advantages of an increase in urban agriculture? What could be some of the disadvantages?
Crop rotation is a sustainable practice of agriculture in which different crops are successively planted on the same land to improve soil fertility and reduce pests and diseases. How is this practice sustainable across the three dimensions?
The practice of crop rotation uses nitrogen fixation to create fertile fields. First, a plant without a nitrogen-fixing relationship, such as corn, is planted. After the harvest, a nitrogen-fixing plant replaces the initial crop. Instead of harvesting the nitrogen-fixing plant, however, it is plowed under. The cycle continues in this manner. Which of the following is not an abiotic factor that affects plants being used in crop rotation? a) NH3 availability b) Soil temperature c) Herbivore density d) Oxygen concentration
do you believe that a combination of Insect Pest management techniques (crop rotation, timing of plantings, and timing of tillage and harvest) is better than using only one type? Justify your stand.
You are the head of an internationalgranting agency that assists farmers with soil conservationand sustainable agriculture. You have $10 million todisburse. Your agency’s staff has decided that the fundingshould go to:(1) farmers in an arid area of Africa prone to salinization,(2) farmers in a fast-growing area of Indonesia whereswidden agriculture is practiced,(3) farmers in Argentinapracticing no-till agriculture, and(4) farmers in a dryland area of Mongolia undergoing desertification.What types of projects would you recommend funding ineach of these areas, how would you apportionyour fundingamong them, and why?
YOU DONT HAVE TO ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS ANYTHING HELPS!! Read the article on the next page, then answer these questions: a. Explain how goats contributed to the erosion photo at the beginning of the article: b. Under the subtitle “Disturbing Trend…”, what are the reasons that our soil is damaged? c. What caused the “Dust Bowl”, and what can be done to avoid this type of disaster? d. Write something that you learned from the article, or a question that you have. Do we treat our soil like dirt? The effects of soil erosion By Dennis Dimick, National Geographic, adapted by Newsela staff The question above was the headline of a National Geographic article about soils in 1984. It remains as relevant today as it was back then, suggesting how little attention we continue to pay to how we grow our food. We lavish attention on our food, we want to know where it came from, who grew it, and whether it is "conventional" or "organic." But we give hardly a passing thought to the…
