Their recognition is more than an award. It is a beautiful reminder that women continue to shape the agri-fishery sector with strength, creativity, and heart. As LSA partners, they have opened their farms not only as places of production, but also as spaces for learning, mentoring, and empowering others.
From building enterprises to sharing knowledge with farmers, youth, and communities, these women prove that leadership in agriculture can be both powerful and purposeful. Their stories show that when women are given the space to lead, they do not only make things grow. They make things better.
ATI-RTC X celebrates this milestone with pride and joy. Congratulations to our LSA women agripreneurs. Your passion, hard work, and warm kind of leadership continue to inspire Northern Mindanao and beyond.
We are rooting for you, always!
