Imagine a farmer discovering new ways to grow better crops or raise healthier livestock—this is the power of learning and sharing knowledge. Across the Philippines, Learning Sites for Agriculture and agricultural expos are helping farmers improve their skills and boost their incomes.
On Saturday, October 4, from 3 PM to 4 PM, tune in to “AgriAsenso” on DZRH 666 kHz to hear firsthand how these initiatives are making a difference. Jocelyn Reyes, owner of Joyful Garden Farm in San Ildefonso, Bulacan, and Michael Triviño, owner of Myrtle’s Agricultural Farm in Lucena City, Quezon, will share their experiences. They will talk about how participating in these programs has helped their farms grow and benefited their communities.
Learning Sites for Agriculture serve as practical places where farmers can observe, practice, and learn modern farming techniques. These sites allow farmers to see real-life examples of successful farming methods and technologies. Meanwhile, agri-expos provide opportunities to discover new tools, products, and innovations that can improve farm productivity and sustainability.
The Department of Agriculture supports these programs to empower farmers, especially those in Classes C, D, and E, by giving them access to affordable technology and knowledge. This helps expand farming opportunities and strengthens rural livelihoods.
By sharing stories of local farmers and the positive impact of these projects, “AgriAsenso” aims to inspire more farmers to join and benefit from these programs. As agriculture remains a backbone of the Philippine economy, such initiatives are vital for the country’s food security and the welfare of millions of farming families.
