Inclusive food systems
from Silang, Cavite

Beneath the upland canopy of southern Luzon, fifty hectares of farmland breathe under the care of the smallholders who built them. Folk & Feast turns fragmented land into structured, productive value chains — without displacing the people who grow there.

High Value Crops Land Assessment

The High-Value Crops Land Assessment is the foundational site survey for the Folk and Feast – Tanivest Big Brother Joint Venture pilot in Silang, Cavite.

Conducted across the consolidated land base in Brgy Batas, the assessment documents soil chemistry and pH, elevation and microclimate, water access and irrigation conditions, and current farmer practices. The output is a site-specific shortlist of high-value crops viable for protected cultivation, hydroponic production, and value-added processing — the technical foundation that informs the 500 sqm hydroponics pilot design, farmer training plans, and offtake partnerships.
