31 Maribojoc farmers complete organic veggie farm training

 

Thirty-one Maribojocanons completed the series of trainings on natural farming technology system (NFTS), vermiculture and organically grown vegetables’ production training in Nawanao, Bayacabac, Maribojoc. The municipal government through the Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO) in collaboration with Mike Racho and Ms. Riza Sumangil of Barangay Bayacabac, Maribojoc sponsored the trainings. The half-day-per-week trainings of lectures and hands-on sessions commenced on July 21 and concluded on August 18 at the Racho residence in Sitio Nawanao. A closing program was held last Thursday that coincided with the harvest of the different NFTS concoctions at the training venue. Sangguniang Bayan (SB) municipal councilor Florante B. Evasco, chairperson of the SB committee on Agriculture/Livelihood and Entrepreneurship updated the participants on the different measures of the legislative department and projects of the executive department on organic farming. Jose Cyril N. Lobrigas, MAO’s Agriculture Enhancement and Development Officer, was the emcee of the activity. The municipal government of Maribojoc encourages its residents to try organic farming in their own backyards through growing of their own spices, root crops and vegetables. Private individuals and families who would like to sponsor their own series of training-sessions on organic farming in their own barangays are requested to coordinate with MAO Maria Eva Bolasco.
