Formulation of the SUD Model
A key outcome of the forum is a resolution from among the estimated 250 participants all over Mindanao calling for the prioritization of sustainable watershed management.
The model is called Sustainable Upland Development Model or SUD Model. It has six schemes, four of which are LGU driven with the other two in support and basically private sector driven.
The four fundamental schemes are, as follows:
- Land Use - Based Barangay Development Planning;
- Upland Agricultural Extension through Land Management, to help farmers switch from mostly corn mono-cropping to a Diversified Farming System;
- Barangay Forest Protection and Management; and
- Labour-based Barangay Routine Road Maintenance for vital barangay roads.
The two supportive schemes are, as follows:
- Rural Financial Services; and
- Upland Village Enterprise Development.
The SUD Model is illustrated through a schematic diagram, as follows:
