This project analyzed the changes in farming systems and landscape of Barangay (village) Palola of Lucban, Quezon [Philippines]. It describes the farming systems interaction along the Mt. Banahaw de Lucban landscape through the exchange of materials, information, energy and resources that helped in the development of management strategies in sustaining the productivity of an agricultural landscape. It also discussed the contributing factors to the changes on its present land use farming systems namely: biophysical condition, population needs, peace and order situation, government policy, and availability of support services. It showed that the holistic view of the situation and integrated actions in the total landscape must be employed in order to have a successful development for the area. This project proved that the present land use is one of the very important indications and prerequisites in determining set of potential land uses in developing an area. It exhibits the description of the existing farming systems that are found across its landscape. Coconut, the most dominant cover, is predominantly planted all over its landscape. Rice, irrigated or rainfed, is found to be the second major crop preferred in the locality. Briefly, recommendations for sustainable farming systems are also included
