About Barangay Lugsad Integrated Farm

The farm's main product is focused on high-value crops that are in demand in the local market. The intent is to create awareness of the importance of natural farming, organic farming, and Integrated Farm Management (IFM).

Natural farming is an ecological farming approach. It is a system that demands no human-supplied inputs:
-neither chemical nor organic fertilizers are added to the soil
-there is no plowing, tilting, fertilizers, & weeding of soil

Organic farming is a method that involves not using pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics & growth hormones:
-organic fertilizers & manures like compost, vermicompost & cow dung manure are used in farmlands
-still requires basic agro practices like plowing, tilting, mixing of manures, & weeding of soil

IFM aims to guarantee the smallest environmental impact possible, preserve biodiversity & reduce risks for the health of agricultural workers & consumers, minimizing the use of pesticides & fertilizers, and favouring natural products.
