Abstract

Upland in the Philippines are considered vital for national development. They contain 7.5 million poorest of the poor of Filipinos are fragile and form an extension of human settlements in the lowlands which can absorb increase in human population. They also affect long-term stability of the lowlands because of their external effects such as unstable hydrological regime soil erosion and loss of genetic pool resulting from deforestation of the uplands. Increase in productivity and stability of upland agroecosystem is a key to upland development. It has biological physical and social dimensions. Examples of prevailing upland production systems and strategies for attaining increased productivity and stability of a1974groecosystem in the uplands are included. Issues related to the development of productive and stable upland agroecosystem and some suggested approaches such as community appraisal appropriate production technology components and necessary institutional support systems are also rai
