ATI Compound, El Salvador City---Nadine Rollon, a recent graduate of the five-day Digital Farmers Program (DFP), is enthusiastic about the program's impact on her life and her family's farming practices. The intensive course, designed for aging farmers and their younger partners, focused on equipping participants with the latest digital agricultural technologies.
"It was a very great training," Rollon shared. "They involved us, the youth, to develop our interest in agriculture. With the knowledge I have gained, I can now assist my parents in adapting to new rice technologies. It's a great help to us small farmers."
Rollon's experience highlights the program's success in bridging the generational gap in farming techniques. By actively engaging young people like Rollon, the program ensures the sustainability of agricultural practices and fosters innovation within farming communities. The program's emphasis on practical application and hands-on learning empowers participants to implement new technologies and improve their yields immediately. This initiative not only benefits individual farmers but also contributes to the overall growth and modernization of the agricultural sector. The program serves as a model for farmers to revitalize their agricultural industries and cultivate a new generation of technologically savvy farmers. (by: Efren C.
