There are 156 kinds of organic vegetables, fruits and medicinal plants grown here. There are livestock and a fishpond.

“Lahat ng kaylangan ng pamilya nandyan. Kung gusto mo ng may meat, meron kang alagang manok. Itlog nila napakarami. May fishpond doon within 3,000 square meters,” said Villegas Agritechtural Farm and Training Center executive director and school administrator Ed Reyes. (All the baasic needs of a family are there. If you like meat, there are chickens and eggs. There’s a fishpond within 3,000 square meters.)

This was made possible through the sustainable farming system.

Under this program, farmers may do organic farming and vermicomposting.

The livestock and fish must be fed with organic food to avoid spending much.

The system aims to make the work easier for farmers and increase their income.

“Kasi yong technology na ina-apply namin para magaan ang pagsasaka, pero marami kang inaani, hindi lang sapat, sobra pa at hindi lang basta pagkain, “safe” na pagkain,” Reyes added. (The technology we apply to make farming easier and increase harvest, is not just sufficient but more than sufficient. And its not just food, but “safe” food.)

The farm school encourages other farmers to try the sustainable farming system. — Danny Munar | UNTV News & Rescue
