- - - - Rice can be grown in terraced and irrigated paddies and in rain-fed swiddens, but the overwhelmingly greater amount of rice comes from the paddies. Malvaceous crops are usually limited to okra, and the few
        bulb crops are usually only onions and occasionally garlic. In addition to a small amount of rice and maize all crops in the Kalinga swiddens come under the general classification of vegetables and can be subdivided into crucifers, cucurbits, legumes, bulb crops, tubers, and solanaceous and malvaceous plants.
        
        CROP PRODUCTION
      - Although wildlife is hunted in some parts of Kalingaland, most of the meat comes from domesticated livestock with the primary source being carabaos, pigs, and chickens.
        
        ANIMAL PRODUCTION
    - - Kalingas usually hunt with dogs, and a good hunting dog is highly valued. Often hunters go out in groups of ten or so and then break up into groups of two or three, each with several dogs. The dogs generally chase down the game and surround it. The most common game are deer, the squirrel like mitit, and wild pigs.
        
        HUNTING
      - Many of the vegetables that are cultivated also grow wild. Pakpako, a fern-like plant, is popular with both Kalingas and Ilokanos. Many of these vegetables grow wild and are simply gathered, such as the leaves of the sili. Saksakrong is a water lily that grows in the rice paddies. Chayote (say - ote in Kalinga) is another popular vegetable that grows wild primarily in cooler places.
