CRTD conducts Training in Northern Samar

PBSP-CRTD trains farmers at Catarman, Northern Samar.

PBSP-CRTD, in cooperation with Plan Philippines- Northern Samar Unit, orients the forty-five Northern Samar farmers with the concepts of Sustainable Agriculture.

This training was held at University of Eastern Philippines Farmers' Training Center last February 5 to 7, 2009. The participants of this training were from five farmer associations, and each association represents a community/barangay.

Redentor Gonzaga, CRTD Technical Officer, and Amy Melissa Malaluan, CRTD Training Officer handled the first two days of the training course, while PLAN staff led the last day.

The modules in this Training on Sustainable Agriculture included the Overview on Philippine Agriculture, Integrated Farming System Principles, and the Principles and Practices of Sustainable Agriculture.

The output of this training would be used to identify the agricultural technology needs and potential projects for each of the five barangays in Northern Samar.
