In line with the celebration of National Correctional Consciousness Week themed "Magkaisa, Magtulugan, Magdamayan, COVID-19 ay Labanan", ATI MiMaRoPa was tapped to conduct a One-day Seminar on Organic Agriculture for Bansud Jail and Management Penology inmates in BJMP, Bansud, Oriental Mindoro on October 21, 2021.
Particular topics on organic agriculture and related discussions were given by technical personnel from the Center's Technology Demonstration and Assessment Area led by Mr. Ruben P. Jugno, Assistant Center Director.
The seminar also consisted of hands-on activities on the soil media preparation, transplanting of vegetable seedlings and preparation of concoction.
“We are very thankful to ATI and to the facilitators of this activity. With your seminar, we have learned new technologies in organic agriculture,” J/SInsp David M. Jambalos of Bansud BJMP said. He also said that this would be a big help to the BJMP-Bansud, especially for the inmates.
After the seminar, the BJMP-Bansud was assorted vegetable seeds, vegetable seedlings, organic compost, and garden tools by ATI MIMAROPA.
