Food Security Index (FSI) 101:
The Food Security Index is a composite score (0–100) showing how well each region can feed its
population based on availability, access, affordability, stability, and quality.
• 90–100: Secure
• 70–89: Watchlist
• 50–69: Vulnerable
• <50: Critical
Knowledge & Learning Hub:
• Weekly Price Trends (rice, corn, vegetables)
• Crop Profiles & Best Practices
• Mechanization Guides
• Precision Ag Insights (NDVI, soil health, irrigation scheduling)
Agriculture Education Snapshot
Agriculture Education in the Philippines
Why It Matters: Without enough skilled graduates, farms, co-ops, and the whole supply chain struggle to adopt modern methods.
Key Highlights:
• Top Schools: UPLB, CLSU, Visayas State University, Laguna State Polytechnic, DLSU
• Notable Fact: UPLB College of Agriculture & Food Science has ~1,400 students enrolled (undergrad + postgrad)
• Declining Enrollment: Studies show declining AFNR (Agriculture, Forestry, Natural Resources)
course enrollment in some regions, a potential threat to future food security.
How AgriChainPH Supports Education:
• Build a digital bridge between schools and co-ops for internships and extension programs.
• Provide a job board for agri graduates.
• Offer dashboards for research collaborations.
This section makes AgriChainPH a trusted reference for students, educators, and researchers who want to strengthen the agricultural sector.
