The Farm Support Scheme is a multifaceted scheme that emerged as a result of PASALI agricultural experimentations on sustainable agriculture, System of Rice Intensification, and various farmer support schemes from 2005 to 2009. It is a direct result of PASALI's brain gain concept that won an idea contest in 2003.

FSS-SRI consists of 12 intervention activities and trainings on interconnected topics: e.g. methods and procedures of SRI, skills development, financial literacy, gender sensitivity, peacebuilding, technical assistance, farm loans and marketing support; all concrete responses to the identified problems of rural communities. 

PASALI facilitated the creation of 11 farmer cooperatives in Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat from 2009 - 2011. Cooperatives have  15 - 45 members, making the total of SRI farmers in Palimbang to over 300. PASALI and the cooperatives are now working on the recognition of these cooperatives by DOLE and CDA. 

PASALI designs and fabricates farm implements for farmers practicing SRI. This includes manual and mechanized rotary weeder, and various pre-production implements such as the plainer or the sanro. PASALI's Technical Center makes also available farm machines to rice farmers, such as tractors. 

Project Expansion
PASALI has begun its extension of the FSS-SRI to Sarangani (Maitum and Kiamba), and Sultan Kudarat (Kalamansig and Lebak). The farmer group in Kiamba consists of tribes of the Sangil, while the farmers in Lebak and Kalamansig are Moro and Indigenous groups (mainly Manobo).
