DILIMAN Quezon City – The improvement of the economic and social well-being of every Agricultural Extension Worker (AEW) has always been the goal and commitment of the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI). This is consistent with the agency’s mandate of professionalizing the AEWs through the implementation of an integrated and ladderized human capital development for public extension services, and adoption of merit, promotion, and incentive system (Section 88, AFMA IRR 1997).
