Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs) in La Union have successfully completed orientation on Organic Farming Technology under the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR)’s Climate Resilient Farm Productivity Support (CRFPS) – Sustainable Livelihood Project to boost their productivity and income.

The training will equip ARBs with practical skills and knowledge to adopt organic farming methods, allowing them to produce higher-value crops, reduce farming costs, and promote environmental sustainability.

DAR Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer II Christianne C. Suguitan highlighted that four (4) agrarian reform beneficiaries organizations (ARBOs) participated: Old Central Multi-Purpose Cooperative in Sudipen, Gusing Sur Multi-Purpose Cooperative in Naguilian, Maize Crafters de San Juan Agrarian Reform Cooperative in Aringay, and Bagulin Multi-Purpose Cooperative in Bagulin.

“This program helps local farmers improve soil health, increase crop yields, and access better market opportunities through organic farming,” Suguitan said.

Beyond training, DAR provides continuous technical assistance to ensure farmers successfully adopt these methods. The initiative is expected to enhance food security, boost farmers’ earnings, and strengthen climate resilience in La Union.

DAR remains committed to helping ARBs adapt to climate change, improve agricultural productivity, and achieve sustainable livelihoods through training, resources, and modern technologies. (By: Resurreccion Arcaina with contributions from DAR La Union)

La Union Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Mag-aaral ng Organic Farming Para Mapataas at Mapanatili ang Kita

Matagumpay na na-orient ang Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs) sa La Union tungkol pagsasanay sa Organic Farming Technology sa ilalim ng Climate Resilient Farm Productivity Support (CRFPS) – Sustainable Livelihood Project ng Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) upang mapataas ang kanilang produksyon at kita.

Matututunan ng ARBs sa naturang pagsasanay ang mga praktikal na kaalaman at kasanayan sa organic farming upang makapagtanim ng mas mataas na kalidad ng ani, makatipid sa gastusin, at mapanatili ang kalusugan ng kalikasan.

Ayon kay DAR Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer II Christianne C. Suguitan, apat (4) na agrarian reform beneficiaries organizations (ARBOs) ang lumahok: ang Old Central Multi-Purpose Cooperative sa Sudipen, Gusing Sur Multi-Purpose Cooperative sa Naguilian, Maize Crafters de San Juan Agrarian Reform Cooperative sa Aringay, at Bagulin Multi-Purpose Cooperative sa Bagulin.

“Ang programang ito ay tumutulong sa ating mga magsasaka upang mapanatili ang kalusugan ng lupa, mapataas ang ani, at magkaroon ng mas magandang oportunidad sa merkado sa pamamagitan ng organic farming,” ani Suguitan.

Bukod sa pagsasanay, patuloy na magbibigay ang DAR ng teknikal na suporta upang matiyak na maisasagawa ng mga ARB ang natutunang teknolohiya. Inaasahang makatutulong ito sa pagpapalakas ng seguridad sa pagkain, pagpapataas ng kita ng mga magsasaka, at pagpapalakas ng kanilang kakayahang umangkop sa pagbabago ng klima.

Patuloy na magsusulong ang DAR ng mga programa para sa ARBs upang mapabuti ang kanilang kabuhayan, ani, at katatagan sa hamon ng pabago-bagong panahon sa pamamagitan ng pagsasanay, makabagong teknolohiya, at iba pang suporta.
