Abstract: This study explores the potential benefits of implementing the Provincial Agricultural and Fishery Extension System (PAFES) in Guimaras, with a focus on enhancing the productivity and sustainability of the agricultural and fisheries sectors. The province, home to diverse agricultural and fishery communities, faces challenges related to limited access to modern techniques and sustainable practices. By establishing PAFES, the study aims to improve the livelihoods of farmers and fisherfolk by offering tailored extension services, including advanced farming methods and sustainable fishing practices. The research highlights the importance of community-based training, local government collaboration, and continuous monitoring for effective implementation. The findings suggest that PAFES has the potential to significantly increase agricultural yields, improve fishing practices, and create income-generating opportunities. Through a demand-driven, integrated approach, PAFES can address regional disparities and empower local communities, fostering long-term sustainability and contributing to the overall economic growth of Guimaras.
