Abstract :The status of innovations strategies in crop production of the Philippines needs to be assessed to determine the country`s ability to reach optimum productivity and income. Furthermore, the rising demands for food coming from a rapidly growing population have also heightened the significance of seeking a more productive and safer food. Thus, there is a need to identify and assess these innovations strategies of crop production in the Philippines. Thus, this paper aims to: identify innovative strategies in the field of crop production in the Philippines, assess current advances of technology in the field of crop production in the Philippines, and discuss the importance of innovations and advances in the field of crop production. The highlight of research findings on the innovative strategies that have been imposed by the researchers through practicing some smart farming innovations insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SFI); and digital agriculture insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DA);. Advances, on the other hand, include the use of F1 seeds, solar power irrigation system, the website for crop planning insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Farmers` Guide Map and Agri-information support portal);, and the different applications that have been developed as well insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Rice Crop Manager, AgriDOC, and KROPS);. This improvement helped the farmers inefficient use of water, fertilizer, and other agricultural inputs in an environmentally friendly way to boost crop productivity while maintaining a safer environment for the farmers and the people. For instance, it is concluded that the innovations above and advances in technology in crop production of the Philippines will be one of the milestones in attaining a specific goal for everyone. And that is to increase the ability of the country to produce a sufficient amount of food for every Filipino family. At the same time, the approach will maintain sustainability and reduced the impact on the environment as long as these technologies are correctly managed.
