One of the major concerns of upland communities is the marketability of their products. With the presence of the CFV farm, the methods used for sustainable crop production were shown as well as the process of marketing the products and selling them to consumers. The establishment of the CFV farms has shown that the implementation of science-based agricultural practices not only allows the sustainability of their livelihood but also increases the farm income to about 20% [1].

CFVs are instituted through the partnership of LGUs and SUCs (State Universities and Colleges). In order to determine whether CFVs are effective, impact assessments reveal that the project was able to accomplish 80-85% of the goals. It is suggested that more LGUs and SUCs be involved to increase the number of CFV projects and its overall impact on the upland communities [1].

The CFV Program is highly accepted by the communities where it is implemented due to its community-based participatory approach. It involves researchers, extension and development workers, farmers, government agencies, and non-government organizations, SUCs and the LGU. However, the impacts of the project would still be highly dependent on the community whether they apply the CFV technologies or not and how well-supported it is by local government [1].

If implemented, the practices shown by CFV lead to the prevention of land degradation, conservation of soil and water, increased soil and water quality, and promotion of biodiversity [1].
