About the Cover
In 2021, the agriculture sector has continued its march to the digital future. With the pandemic affecting the said sector and access to food, the center has fully embraced the digitalization of agriculture to help the farmers and fishers in the region.
Maximizing the digital platform, ATI-Central Luzon continued its implementation of the Digital Farmers Program (DFP) among farmers and youth in each province of Central Luzon. In addition, the Digital Agriculture Course was launched among rice farmers in the region. The said projects consist of a ladderized approach in teaching small—scale farmers nationwide with basic digital tools and technologies, particularly social media.
Further, the center launched the iAgri TV series featuring on-demand topics and latest agricultural technologies. The episodes are aired every month through ATI-Central Luzon’s Facebook Page to reach a wider audience.
With the rise of digital technologies, ATI-Central Luzon continued to innovate to pursue its main goal as the capacity builder and catalyst of the agricultural extension system in the region.
