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.
