Results showed 22 cropping patterns, 23 crop-animal integration systems and 2 crop-fish integration systems in Region 1 [Ilocos Region, Philippines] and CAR. Most patterns were cereal dominated for the lowland and vegetable crops for the highlands. Animals integrated in the system were goat, cattle, carabao, swine and poultry. Cropping patterns and crop animal integration were accepted, applied and utilized, crop-fish integration system was yet to be accepted, adapted, applied and utilized in both regions because the system lacks information and technology. The different farming systems showed that each province has different production values. Production is dependent on the sub-systems present within the whole farming system. The various contributions of farming systems include better community relations, increased production per area, proper utilization of natural resources, and decreased destruction of ecological entities
