摘要

Soil erosion in the Philippine uplands is widely regarded as the country's most serious environmental problem which affect about 63-76 percent of the country's total land area (Paningbatan 1990). This paper summarizes the experiences gained from eight upland development projects regarding promotion and adoption of recommended soil conservation practices at these study sites. The paper aims to analyze the major factors which affected technology adoption and the consequences of these technologies on the farming system. Policy implications and recommendations were drawn based from the above analysis. This study covered eight (8) upland sites distributed throughout the major islands in the Philippine archipelago. Three of the project sites were implemented by non-government organizations while the other five were government-initiated projects. Formal household surveys were conducted in the first five sites; case study analysis was done in the next two; while a reconnaissance survey was adopted in the eighth study site. In the final analysis, the study concluded that the diffusion of erosion control measures on the farm level has been limited in most upland development projects. Adoption usually peaks during project implementation and rapidly declines after its termination. Extent of adoption was usually limited within the project area with little evidence of spontaneity. Successful and sustained adoption of erosion control technologies has occurred where farmers are assured of the short-term economic returns thereby compensating for labor costs and loss of production area and where farmers clearly understand the basic concepts and principles of the technologies. In areas where adoption has occurred, erosion control technologies were significantly modified by farmers to suit specific biophysical and socioeconomic circumstance and farming systems. Hence, farmers' understanding of the purpose and the basic concept of the soil conservation farming technologies should be promoted to ensure that fanners' adaptations do not nullify the contribution of technology to resource conservation.
