Qualitative Results

FAT to Alleviate Poverty. FAT is said to be a project

which is intended to help the beneficiaries to become more

appreciative and advocated to the essentials of vegetables,

aside from that, it also aims to recover the beneficiaries

from the so-called poverty in which the project gives

livelihood for them through the production of vegetables.

However, the project depends on the cooperation of the

stakeholders in order to alleviate poverty, without it,

there will be no good changes happen which can elevate the

economic status of the beneficiaries. Aside from

cooperation, the project will improve if the stakeholders

would willingly join. It’s hard for the communities when

there is no food to eat due to they don’t have enough

knowledge in producing it. Through the project, the

beneficiaries are able to put their dreams in a soil so that

it will grow as stated by Alberto L. Ponce. The

beneficiaries are able to save money because they don’t need

Page | 28

29 | P a g e

to buy vegetables in the market, additionally; they sell the

excess vegetables which resulted to increasing their income.

Importance of Vegetables. Vegetables are very important

due to it helps to boost the condition of the body and

according to the participants; there are lots of nutrients

like vitamins and minerals they could get from eating

vegetables. Unlike meats, vegetables are safer to eat. It

really helped the communities to become more healthy and

away from illnesses which increase their lifespan as well.

Appreciation on Vegetables. They appreciated vegetables

because aside from the essentials of vegetables, they are

encouraged to plant vegetables in their backyard and

persuaded to join contests in Gulayan sa Barangay (GSB). The

beneficiaries are also dependent on farming that’s why they

are really supporting farming as their no.1 livelihood.

Aside from that, vegetables are cheaper but healthier than

meats.

Healthy Eating Habits. The project promoted the

production and consumption of vegetables through persuading

Page | 29

30 | P a g e

the beneficiaries mostly, each household to eat nutritious

vegetables. The children particularly the students are

encouraged to join the nutrition month where vegetable

competitions are held and feeding programs organized by the

barangays. Even though the beneficiaries sell their

vegetables, they are really used these as their consumption.

Nutritional Status Improvement. The beneficiaries are

determined to eat vegetables from this, malnutrition

problems are decreasing which means that the stakeholders

really cope up to be healthy especially those who have

sincerely cooperated the project. The number of malnourished

children reduced through the discipline of the parents for

them by feeding them vegetables. Aside from the food

discipline, the children are persuaded to participate

feeding programs offered by the project in participation of

the barangay, school, organizations/companies linkages like

Jollibee giving hand to fade away the malnutrition problem.

Vegetable Consumption. Vegetables are in demand for the

beneficiaries, much more than the consumption of meat

Page | 30

31 | P a g e

products due these are their main food source and they

preferred it far from meat. Aside from that, they chose

vegetables because they could get these from their

plantation in their backyards.

Project’s Promotion of Organic Vegatables. All

vegetables that the beneficiaries planted are chemical-free.

They advocate organic farming to make the vegetable products

safer to eat. Organic farming is done through using the

dried waste of animals and decomposed plants, leaves, being

processed to come up organic fertilizer. They used worms to

make the soil more conditioned for planting the free-seeds.

This process is called vermicomposting. According to the

participants, the project promoted the R.A. 10068 based on

Japanese technology which is an act providing for the

development and promotion of organic agriculture in the

Philippines and for other purposes known as “Organic

Agriculture Act of 2010”. This enables the practice of

organic agriculture in the Philippines that will

cumulatively condition and enrich the fertility of the soil,

increase farm productivity, reduce pollution and destructionPage | 31

32 | P a g e

of the environment prevent the depletion of natural

resources, further protect the health of farmers, consumers,

and the general public, and save on imported farm inputs.

Aside from this, organic farming used organic insecticides

like using chili for spraying the plants to keep away from

the harmful insects.

Beneficiaries Income. The project promote livelihood to

the beneficiaries due to the beneficiaries can sell the

excess vegetables in which they could earn from it. However,

some beneficiaries are not able to sell due to the

vegetables are enough for consumption and not all

beneficiaries are dependent on the project. Some of the

beneficiaries are dependent in their other jobs like

employee in the government units and teaching; some are also

pensioner and others. Thus, these entail that the income of

beneficiaries does not depend on the project and the project

itself is a way for them to get foods conveniently and a way

Page | 32

33 | P a g e

also to add their daily needs by the income they get from

selling vegetables.
