Featured Story
LA TRINIDAD, Benguet - Pat Acosta can be considered a peculiar farmer.
This statement can be a little bit exaggerated but no can deny that he is one of the pioneers in the emergence of organic agriculture in the province of Benguet. If one examines the methods he uses in his farming it may be as he terms it “going back to the basics of agriculture,” where farming shouldn’t be as complicated as it may seem now. Organic farming according to Acosta can be described as simple farming, no need for chemical fertilizers as well as pesticides and all you need to worry about is the health of your soil.

The delegates primarily intended to be oriented about the program, specifically about the center as well as have a first-hand look on how it operates.
