Searca, BPI train farmers amid Covid pandemic

TO help farmers establish a set of practices in their farming operations for emerging commodities amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Plant Industry (DA-BPI) and the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (Searca) convened a two-day virtual training-workshop.

According to Searca Director Glenn Gregorio, the need to help farmers to rethink and redesign their current farming methods was the reason for conducting the “Virtual Training-Workshop on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) For Emerging Agricultural Commodities Amid Covid-19 Pandemic.”
