Project Description

Although farming and fishing are considered primary sources of income and commerce in the Philippines, it is surprisingly becoming one of the neglected professions, especially for the young generation. If this trend continues, it will significantly affect the economic stability of the Philippines.  This programme enables volunteers to participate in advocating for sustainable farming through model farm projects, island green movement, garden classroom, and social entrepreneurial ventures.
