        | 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. |
