Eden Anne Lopez, Gian Karla Buslig, Noemi Janet Dumbab · 2026 · The International Review of Multidisciplinary Research

Summary. This ethnographic study documents Abuyog, an indigenous agricultural system practiced by the Ilimos community in Kalinga. The research reveals that experienced farmers integrate traditional ecological knowledge, ritual practices, and cooperative labor systems into sustainable small-scale farming. Abuyog strengthens community bonds, preserves cultural knowledge across generations, and builds resilience against modernization pressures and economic constraints.
