ABOUT THE COVER
In 2022, the agriculture sector fully embraced the digitalization of agriculture with the use of data as its benchmark in the implementation of its activities and projects. The combination of data and digital served as catalysts for the circular agri-food systems. With this, the combination helps and drives the center to thrive in this new direction of digitalization.
As a testament, the center implemented the 1st Digital Agriculture Congress among Digital Farmers Program (DFP) finishers in the region. The congress aimed to introduce the latest agriculture applications to make the lives of the extension workers and farmers easier.
Maximizing the digital platform, ATI-Central Luzon continued its implementation of the Digital Farmers Program (DFP) roll-out among farmers and youth in each province of Central Luzon. The said projects consist of a ladderized approach in teaching small—scale farmers nationwide with basic digital tools and technologies, particularly social media.
With the rise of digital technologies, ATI-Central Luzon continued to innovate to pursue its main goal as the capacity builder, catalyst and knowledge bank of the agricultural extension system in the region.
