| Resource Title | Perceived feasibility of establishing an urban farming facility among academic and non- academic participants in the College of Home Economics, University of the Philippines Diliman |
| Date Issued | 22 June 2023 |
| Abstract | In the Philippines, it appears that agriculture is more concentrated in rural areas than in urban centers. According to Nitural (n.d.), urban centers serve as distribution hubs for rural agriculture's goods and sometimes experience shortages of items due to marketing strategies and other factors. Hence, only a few studies have been linked to its actual impacts and sustainability. Additionally, only a few studies have been linked to the feasibility of urban farming facilities in an academic institution and its sustainability. Thus, this study aims to assess the perceived feasibility of establishing an Urban Farming Facility (UFF) among academic and non-academic participants in the College of Home Economics, University of the Philippines Diliman (CHE-UPD). Specifically, this study aims to first identify the perceived departmental feasibility of a UFF setup based on the learning activity, food security, healthy food source, physical well-being, and source of raw materials; second, describe the perceived individual feasibility of a UFF setup based on food consumption habits, mental well-being, physical well-being, and learning activity; and third, to determine the perceived sustainability of a UFF setup based on skills and knowledge, willingness, time and willingness, tasks, and motivation. A descriptive quantitative approach through a close-ended self-administered online survey will be administered to the study participants from CHE-UPD using non-random sampling, specifically the snowball sampling technique to determine the perceived individual and departmental feasibility of a UFF setup in CHE-UPD. The participants in this study consist of students and support staff currently enrolled or working in CHE-UPD. Data to be collected will be processed using MS Excel and Sheets. Descriptive statistics will be used to analyze the data. |
