Agri Asenso Explores Increasing Women Participation in Farming Through Training, Education

DILIMAN, Quezon City – Access to training programs and development opportunities enables more women to participate in agriculture.

This was highlighted by two women farmers from Nueva Ecija, who served as guest experts during the Agri Asenso radio program of the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) and DZRH last March 5. 

Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF) Farm School owners Fern Sebastian and Nina Resplandor, of Myriad Farms in Guimba, Nueva Ecija, said that various government interventions and resources in the sector are now gender inclusive.
