The MBRLC has originated a number of sustainable farming techniques, including Sloping Agricultural Land Technology (SALT), which addresses the problem of erosion caused by deforestation by combining soil conservation with food production, and Food Always In The Home (FAITH) gardening, which uses a series of raised garden beds in a 100 square meter plot of land to provide a family of six with vegetables throughout the year. At its nineteen-hectare demonstration site in Davao del Sur, the MBRLC provides training in community development, sustainable agriculture, rural healthcare, and Chr*st*an values.
