| Summary: | Problems for farmers in the Philippines created by the Green Revolution have led to the emergence of organizations seeking alternative solutions. Highly successful amongst these is the Farmer-Scientist Partnership for Development (MASIPAG), started in 1985 as a response to growing concerns by farmers over their dependent situation. The phenomenal growth of MASIPAG is due to its commitment to improving the quality of life of resource poor farmers through supporting their participation and empowerment in the development process. Farmers adapt or develop their own technologies and maintain access and control of production resources such as seeds, technology and land. |
