Objectives for Study 1: 1. To assess the four (4) ecological services provided by each learning module. 2. To determine synergies and trade-offs among the different learning modules in terms of the identified ecological services. Objectives for Study 2: 1. To assess the biodiversity levels within the organic agriculture farm, focusing on key taxonomic groups such as plants, insects, and animals. 2. To identify and characterize the dominant species and their abundance to understand the composition and structure of the farm's biodiversity. 3. To investigate the impact of organic farming practices on biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services provision within the farm. 4. To provide recommendations for enhancing biodiversity conservation strategies and promoting sustainable agricultural practices within the organic agriculture farm. Objectives for Study 3: 1. To measure the aboveground biomass accumulation of vegetable production area and agroforestry area. 2. To determine the amount of carbon stored in the two modules being compared. 3. To provide recommendations to strengthen the use organic farming systems and promoting the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices in climate change mitigation.
