| Abstract: |
This study examined the experiences of smallholder farmers in Lantapan, Bukidnon, amid the challenges posed by modernization and industrialization an issue of growing importance given agriculture’s vital role in local livelihoods and food security. Despite farming’s deep cultural roots and economic significance, there was limited understanding of how modernization specifically affected farmers’ motivations, challenges, and coping mechanisms in this community. The study aimed to fill this gap by exploring these impacts in depth to inform more effective support strategies. Employing a qualitative phenomenological design, the research involved 10 purposively selected farmers who participated in semi-structured interviews and participant observations, complemented by a review of relevant policy documents. Thematic analysis revealed that farmers were primarily motivated by family traditions and the need to support their households, yet they faced considerable financial difficulties, labor shortages, environmental threats such as pests and unpredictable weather, and unstable market prices intensified by modernization. Despite these hardships, farmers showed remarkable resilience and hope, emphasizing perseverance while calling for increased government support such as subsidies for inputs, stable pricing mechanisms, and protection against crop failures. The findings illustrate that modernization brings both opportunities and serious challenges that threaten the sustainability of small-scale farming. The study highlights the need for comprehensive support that extends beyond financial aid to include infrastructure improvements, education, and market reforms addressing systemic issues. Ultimately, this research underscores the urgent necessity for community-centered policies that empower farmers to adapt and thrive, safeguarding farming as both a livelihood and a cultural heritage in Lantapan. |
