CONCEPT OF D.R. C.A.N.E.N.C.I.A B.I.O.A.R.T.S F.A.R.M M.O.D.E.L

BioArts education at work is the showcase of artistry of life interactions and the arts for F.A.I.T.H (Food Available-In-The-Home), additional I.N.C.O.M.E (Intelligent use of Natural resource and Conservation for gainful Outcome to draw out Money in small business farm Enterpreneurship) and the wise conversion of energy into useful work. The concept used is D.R. C.A.N.E.N.C.I.A B.I.O.A.R.T.S F.A.R.M. M.O.D.E.L defined as Development of the immediate Resources for the Conservation and Amplification in the utilization process of meeting the human Needs as means of Educating love and care of the Nature through Creative Integration of Biology and Arts by Beating Insufficiency with optimism and positive Attitude for self Reliance Towards food Self-sufficiency on Fostering Abundance from Reuse, recycle, reduce and redesign approaches on Management in the Maximum maximization on its Operation and Development for an Entrepreneurial Level.

PRACTICES ON BIOARTS EDUCATION AT WORK

Maximum maximization of space

“No single Pinoy will get starve if he used his mind, heart and hands in his backyard”

Vision a backyard agricultural landscape using indigenous technology, doable and replicable.

Mission To promote and advocate:

Backyard organic farming that are environmentally friendly, and zero waste

Bioarts practicesthat are educationallyworking and market driven .

Diversified backyardfarming systems thatare all terrain, all seasons and all soiltypes

Farmers based techno pack, management consultancyand marketing

“There is no less productive backyardOnly a less productive household owner”

PRACTICES AT WORK

1. Site Selectiono Water sourceo Topographyo Type of soilo Vegetationo Free from floodso Nearness to market

o Availability of supply all year round

o Access to transportationo Cheap source of laboro Peace and order2. Establishment Process

o site selectiono lay out, plan and designo material and labor inputso crop, poultry and livestock establishmento production and management

practiceso harvesting ando marketing

“There is money and fresh food in the backyard”

3. Conservation of rainwater

4. Utilization of raintree and Acacia aure fallen leaves

5. Recycle, Reduce, Reuse and Redesign (4 R’s)

BIOARTS EDUCATION AT WORK

Organic Definition: Philippine National Standards

Crop production in organic agriculture is a

holistic production management systems, which promotes and enhances agro ecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity. It emphasizes the use of management practices in preference to the use of off-farm inputs, taking into account that regional conditions require locally adapted systems.

This is accomplished by using, where possible, cultural, biological and mechanical methods, as opposed to using synthetic materials, or fulfill any specific function within the system. An organic crop production system is designed to:

Organic Definition: Philippine National Standards

Enhance biological diversity within the

whole system; Increase soil biological activity Maintain long-term fertility; Recycle wastes of plant and animal origin

in order to return nutrient to the land, thus minimizing the use of non-renewable resources;

Rely on renewable resources in locally organized agricultural systems;

Promote the healthy use of soil, water and air as well as minimize all forms of pollution thereto that may result from agricultural practices;

BIOARTS MODEL

1. BIOARTS COMPONENTS

PAINTINGS

2. ORGANIC: No pesticides / No chemical fertilizers

3. ZERO WASTE: Everything recycled4. COMPACT: just an area of 300 square meters

5. ECONOMICALLY VIABLE: Net earnings of more than P 5 pesos/day

7. OWNER POWERED: Wise conversion of energy into useful work

6. DIVERSIFIED: Components provide weekly / monthly / quarterly cash flow

CROPS FEATURES

A. ORGANIC• No pesticides / No chemical fertilizers

B. Input Wise• less cost• less laborer• use 4 R’s

C. PRODUCTIVE

• Longer fruiting period

• Shorter maturity period• Sizes comparable to the best

1. Single Woven Garden net(Source: Saint John Hardware, Barili, Cebu)

2. Polybag Planting (Source: Any plastic Supply/Size: 10”x10”x14” or 8x8x10)

3. Compost Medium(Source: Make your own )

4. Rainwater and Commercial water Conservation and utilization

5. Utilization of fallen Raintree and Acacia aure leaves
