Abstract
Gaining insights into prevailing land management practices and discerning the factors influencing their adoption is important since it can help pinpoint areas that require enhancement and help formulate targeted strategies to optimize existing agriculture support services in the province. This paper aims to identify the determinants that can influence the implementation of different land management practices among the farmers in Misamis Occidental, Philippines. Descriptive statistics were employed to describe the socio-demographic and farm characteristics of the farmers, while a logistic regression model was used to determine correlations between these characteristics and the adoption of different management practices. Results of the analysis indicate that farmer’s age, monthly income, family size, farm ownership, farm size, farm age, education, and association membership can influence the implementation of different practices in various ways. Since farm age (p=0.03) and organization membership (p=0.01) emerged as significant influencing factors, it is recommended to strengthen and support these organizations so more new farm owners can be engaged to participate in land conservation efforts within Misamis Occidental watershed
