Abstract

Much has been said about large-scale and pump irrigation systems but not much published research is available on small-scale farmer-led irrigation systems supporting highland farming. This study described the management of irrigation sources and farmer-led irrigation systems, and conveyance and distribution technologies supporting highland farming. Data were based on FGDs in 30 barangays and a survey of 279 farmers in three highland provinces. Findings show that 91% of farmers use irrigation from springs, rivers, and creeks; 70% of the conveyance and distribution facilities are farmer-initiated and managed, and micro-irrigation technologies such as sprinklers and drip irrigation are accessible. National irrigation development agenda need to include and Cordillera region needs to prioritize support for small- and micro-scale irrigation systems, conservation of watershed and riverine systems, and rethink irrigable area policy to sustain the highland vegetable industry. Policy, R&D, infrastructure, and multi-agency convergence support to farmer-led irrigation development are paramount.
