Abstract

This study investigates the interest and awareness of organic agriculture among Senior High School students enrolled in the Technical Vocational Livelihood (TVL) track, specifically within the Agriculture strand, in Baao, Camarines Sur, Philippines. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, data was collected through focus group discussions and key informant interviews, revealing students perceptions, motivations, and challenges related to organic farming. Findings indicate that while students recognize the environmental benefits of organic agriculture, their awareness is often limited, and many express hesitance towards pursuing agriculture as a career. Hands-on experiences significantly enhance their interest, yet a disconnect exists between their agricultural activities and future aspirations. The study emphasizes the need for integrating organic agriculture into educational curricula at earlier stages and developing engaging resources to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of sustainable farming practices among youth, ultimately contributing to the sustainability of the agricultural sector.
