Nature Farming System
Low farm productivity is also attributed to a high cost of farm production. Nature farming system or NFS addresses this critical farm investment as farmers could now produce their own fertilizers and natural pest control for rice, corn and vegetable production. TACDRUP trains up farmers to adopt the system resulting in them producing the high-value and sought-after organic crops.

Hog Raising
To augment every household income is one of the key areas of the SIAD Program. Livestock dispersal provides most women in the communities with the opportunity to earn. Hog, chicken, goat, etc. form part of the livestock dispersed to qualified beneficiaries. TACDRUP’s hog raising innovative - changing radically what perceived before as an activity assigned preferrably to rural communities where the neighborhood is well-spread. But the NFS eliminates the obnoxious odor usually emitted during raising period making it desirable even in highly populated neighborhood. Aside from the elimination of the odor, NFS hog raising requires less or minimal attention from the farmer. The undertaking is a livestock dispersal engagement with the NFS farmer adoptors. The proceeds of the project - whether in piglets or cash - assures for the continuity of the mechanism to reach as many beneficiaries as possible.

Poultry Raising
Under the livestock dispersal, poultry raising is also an innovation by TACDRUP. While it is yet to make significant turn around from the conventional poultry raising, it has maintained all conventional practices at the sidelight. For instance, the housing structure allows greater area for the chickens to roam around. Bedding is used as fertilizers while vaccines and vetinerary medicines (like antibiotics) are sparingly applied under extreme condition or cases. Such medicines are only used to stave off losses on the part of the farmers but chickens are separated from the rest.
