‘Bayanihan’ boosts farmers’ livelihood

A group of organic farmers whose families are dependent on their relatives who are overseas Filipino workers worked together to establish an alliance they said will promote self-sufficiency in their communities.

Members of the Lanuza OFW-Dependents Organic Farmers Association (LODOFA) told environmental group Haribon Foundation that they created the organization to lessen dependency on the remittances from their OFW family members.
