"The best part of this training is the part wherein the participants were able to visit various entities which could enhance their innate capabilities and at the same time promotes active learning to farmers." - NIA-IRPEP
A five (5)-day training was conducted to equip the participants with the knowledge and basic hands-on training regarding the concepts and principles of Integrated Farming System. It was participated by a total of 32 participants which consist of IAs and representatives of National Irrigation Administration - Irrigated Rice Production Enhancement Project (NIA-IRPEP) Region 8 Office. Lectures on different topics including soil management, organic farming and vermicomposting were provided to sustain farm productivity. Participants were also given hands-on activities and educational tours to improve their understanding on the principles and concepts lectured.
A farm planning workshop was also managed to gauge the knowledge gained by the participants from the training. Likewise, participants were able to formulate their crop calendar and gained knowledge in the efficient allocation of farm area to different uses. Based on the farm planning activity conducted, the participants were able to learn the principles and concepts of Integrated Farming System. They were able to apply the technical skills in IFS in farm planning and appreciate the practical application of the knowledge on soils and the properties of soil, simple farm recording and book keeping.
PBSP-CRTD gives continuous counseling and technical support to trained farmers as what the program implementation concerns. The program itself was designed to facilitate and to determine the knowledge acquired by the participant from the training. Participants were given opportunity to apply the principles and concepts learned from the training by means of implementation and technical application thus the monitoring takes place. Moreover, as what the institute promote, share and teach on how appropriate components of farm can maximize productivity.
