The hallmark of ATFI’s success in attaining her mission will be gauged by her ability to facilitate the transformation of scattered, marginal and powerless growers into
       

 

 

Self-Governing Communities with a strong sense of organization and capable of demonstrating this by:

  a.   Establishing gender-fair and just structures and 

        mechanisms suited to their own context and needs 

        and embodies their own   

        hopes and dreams for their forebears;

  b.   Making informed self-decision; and 

  c.   Being progress-oriented.

Self-Sufficient communities that are non-dependent on a single crop but shall be using diversified production systems and technologies and have acquired manifold production skills not only in agriculture but also the know-how to vertically move up to non-agricultural productive ventures. These communities shall have shed away their mono-crop oriented, superstitions and unscientific practices and feudal tradition and values;

Communities capable of Building Up independent    Resources and Advocate for their entitlement. These are communities that can demand for services and resources (from the Government and other sources) where they are available and build up their own resources (capital, infrastructure, among others) and structures where they are not available. This will mean establishing their own market links, building up their own capital base in addition to existing resources such as land and market for balangon and mascobado sugar.  

 

Self-Sustaining Communities consciously nurturing the soil and reinvigorating and enhancing the environment for future generations, soundly and efficiently utilizing finite resources and possessing strong entrepreneurial spirit.
