Abstract

San Pedro, Goa is an upland community near the Inside Mount Isarog where subsistence and agroforestry homegardens are practice yet it is varnishing. This study employed a descriptive research design to assess the adoption of agroforestry homegardens and their subsequent contribution to food security and income generation among resident households in Barangay San Pedro, Goa, Camarines Sur. Data were collected from 90 household respondents on socio-demographic factors, adoption levels, garden productivity, and economic benefits. The analysis revealed that the majority of respondents have successfully adopted agroforestry homegardens. Finding indicated that the adoption rate was largely independent of household characteristics, with the sole exception being the type of dwelling. Crucially, the study established a significant positive correlation between the implementation of Agroforestry home gardens and enhanced food security and family income Based on these findings, the research recommends The promotion and incentives for agroforestry adopters it also recomment for BLGU (Barangay Local Government Unit to provide homegarden materials and inputs to boost the adoption , subsitence farming, for income genearation and support through structured training programs, provision of low-interest loans, and the establishment of reliable market mechanisms for homegarden products to ensure continued sustainability and maximize community benefits.
