PIC-STRAP Paper Presented during the 2013 International ISSAAS Congress

PIC-STRAP participated in the 2013 International ISSAAS Congress organised by the International Society for Southeast Asian Agricultural Sciences (ISSAAS) in Alabang, Muntinlupa City, Philippines on November 11-15, 2013. Ms. Elena Eugenio presented her paper with the title Typology of Farmers’ Awareness on Sustainability of Alternative Bioenergy Feedstocks in the Philippines.  In this paper, four farmer typologies were identified – unaware, informed, knowledgeable and misinformed. Half of the surveyed farmers are unaware and misinformed about bioenergy. Most misinformed and unaware farmers are located in Calabarzon and Davao, respectively. Education and awareness campaign thus need to be done in these regions to promote bioenergy production.
