About

The Association of Locally Empowered Youth in Northern Mindanao (ALEY-NM), based in Cagayan de Oro, works to empower young people in Mindanao's barangays through sustainable agriculture and community development. The organization promotes low-external-input farming systems that integrate crops, trees, and animals in nutrient-cycling practices, aiming to improve local biodiversity while making rural communities more productive. Its work spans food security, water access, sustainable agriculture, climate resilience, and youth empowerment.

Mission

The main goal of ALEY-NM is to empower the local youths in Mindanao, give them hope and roots in the barrios where they are living by making the barrios productive, vibrant and a repository of local knowledge at the same time improving the local biodiversity by nurturing the land in a low-external input system (as opposed to high-chemical agriculture) and incorporating crop-trees-animals in a nutrient-cycle, sustainable manner. The organization promotes ecological sanitation and the use of human waste (urine and feces) as fertilizer for the plants realizing that chemical fertilizer harms the environment and knowing that human waste contains valuable nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphate ideal for food security.
