PLDT, Smart help push digital agri

PLDT and Smart Communications Inc., in partnership with the Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Training Institute (DA-ATI), have rolled out their first-ever Training of Trainers on Digital Farmers Program (DFP) for representatives and farmer scientists in Region 4-A (Calabarzon).

"There is still this digital divide in the farming community. We, at PLDT and Smart, aim to help bridge this gap. Our goal is to find solutions to bring technology closer to our farmers and make innovations work for them," Kristine Joyce Magadia, stakeholder management lead for Livelihood of PLDT and Smart, said.
