Brief Description
Premised with the model of causality, organic agriculture adaption (effect) is dependent on the promotional efforts (cause) both from the national level down to the local level. With the recognition of the many benefits of organic agriculture, the national government promotes it through promulgation of laws, giving mandates and directives to government arms such as local government units/agencies, SUCs, research institutions and even the private sector to implement and play their roles in the widespread adoption of organic agriculture. Being a research and academic institution, SUCs play an important role in this endeavour. It is thus imperative for SUCs to find ways that could help the government promote organic farming adoption. Since SUCs' one functional strength is research, it is thus indispensable to engage in research activities towards developing strategies or showcasing the real benefits of organic farming to farmers, thereby encouraging more farmers to engage in organic farming.
