Farmers believed their children will not have a future if they become rice farmers. Most Qfarmers want their children to obtain college education so they can work on non-farming jobs in urban areas or abroad.

Around 65% of the farmers wanted their children to stay away from rice farming, while only more than a third of them (35%) wanted their children to be rice farmers too. These are based on a study on “Aging Filipino Rice Farmers and Their Aspirations for Their Children,” done by Florencia G. Palis of the University of the Philippines Los Baños.

A farmer household survey was conducted among 923 farmers who were randomly selected from the three provinces representing each of the three big islands: Isabela for Luzon, Iloilo for the Visayas, and Agusan del Norte for Mindanao. The survey was complemented by in-depth interviews and focus group discussions to further understand the lives and situations of Filipino farmers.
