This study was conducted to determine the extent of grower's adoption of such practices for sustainable agriculture. Specifically, the study sought: a) the socio-economic characteristics of coffee growers in the provinces of Batangas and Cavite; b) the characteristics of coffee farms; c) the farming practices adopted by coffee growers in terms of their nursery management, soil management, weed management, insect pest management, disease management, harvesting and post harvest practices; d) the growers sources of information concerning coffee production; e) the innovative practices the coffee growers employ to cope with the climate change; f) the significant relationship between the socio-economic characteristics of coffee growers and their farming practices; and g) the problems encountered by growers in coffee production. Descriptive research design was employed in this study. Interview was used in the gathering information from the respondents. The list of coffee growers in Batangas and Cavite was identified through the help of the office of the Provincial Agriculture in Batangas and Cavite.
