• A study was conducted in two farming villages in Padre Garcia, Batangas, Philippines to identify and classify existing farming systems using a proposed framework for farmign systems classification. Since this was just the first approximation, a semi-quantitative approach was done using the relevant criteria such as soil/land use suitability, market orientation, level of capital, labor intensity, power source, level of technical management, farm size, infrastructure support and tenurial status. Based on the soil/land use suitability assessment in the study area, the results showed that the existing soil/land uses for annual crops were moderately suitable. The most limiting environmental factor was the occurrence of four consecutive dry months. Six classes of farming systems were determined based on the classification process. The classes were designated as A, B, C, D, E and F in order of decreasing level. About 12% of the rainfed lowland farmers practice Class A and majority (48%) was in Class C. In the case of the upland farmers, about 14% were in Class F (lowest level) and a majority (47%) was under Class D. The proposed farming system classification will provide a variety of data and information for researchers, extension workers and agricultural development planners in determining the potentials and limitations of existing farming systems. The classification can be a basis for designing and planning technological or developmental interventions in farming communities.
