The assessment was carried out using survey questionnaire. Result of the study showed that most of the respondents are male aging 41 years old and above who are high school graduate. The awareness level of the respondents under agrisilviculture, and shifting cultivation is high same with fuel wood production. In taungya awareness level is low same with alley cropping, multilayer tree garden, multipurpose trees on crop land, plantation crop combination, trees in soil conservation, shelterbelt and windbreaks hedgerows. There was moderate awareness in homegardens. There was a low awareness under silvipastoral, in trees and shrubs on a rangeland or pasture land. Protein banks and plantation crops with pasture or animals, while in love fence of fodder and shrubs has a moderate level of awareness. Under agrisilvipastora system, in home gardens including animals there was a moderate awareness, while in multipurpose woody hedgerows there was a low level of awareness. Under other technologies such as apiculture with trees has a moderate level of awareness while in multipurpose woodlands there was a low level of awareness. The adoption level of the agroforestry technologies, was very low under agrisilviculture, in shifting cultivation, apiculture with trees and multipurpose woodland, while taunga has a low level of adoption, same with alley cropping, multilayer tree garden, multipurpose trees on crop land, plantation crop combination, trees in soil conservation, shelterbelt windbreaks, and hedgerows. Home gardens and fuel wood production has a moderate level of adoption. There was a low level of adoption under silvipastoral system, trees and shrubs on rangeland and pasture land has a low level of adoption same with protein banks, plantation crops with pasture and animals, and living fence of fodder and shrubs. There was a low level of adoption in multipurpose woody hedgerows. The respondents integrated tree crop such as madre cacao, ipil-ipil, mahogany, yemane, mango, narra, tamarind, nangka and chico together with rice, tobacco, corn, vegetable crops, peanut and dragon fruit. The respondents also integrated animals like cattle, goat, chicken, swine and duck in their farm. There are benefits that can be derived from adoption of agroforestry technologies such as: generates more income, can lead to diversified harvest, and for erosion control. Some of the problems encountered by the farmers are laborious, lack of financial assistance, lack of skills in farming and no ownership of the land.
