Pasay City, Philippines — The Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) will mark its 38th anniversary on January 29 at the Philippine International Convention Center with the theme “Youth in Agriculture: Cultivating Innovations through Partnerships”. The event will highlight ATI’s commitment to empowering the younger generation and advancing the agricultural sector through collaborative efforts.
One of the key highlights of the celebration will be the launch of the International Internship Program in Israel in partnership with Agro Studies. This initiative will provide young Filipino farmers with the opportunity to receive advanced agricultural training abroad to broaden their knowledge and skills in modern farming techniques.

The program supports youth in pursuing organic farming by offering hands-on experience and financial resources to help them establish their own agricultural businesses.
ATI will also formalize the partnership with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) for the STARBOOKS program through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
Meanwhile, the Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI) will be endorsing the two Anak TV Seal Awards and a nomination for the Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA) to the Agricultural Training Institute’s (ATI) AgriKids program.
ATIng Extension on Wheels, designed to bring essential agricultural resources and support directly to rural communities, will be showcased during the event.
Lastly, ATI will unveil DigiAgriHacki, a new initiative aimed at accelerating the development of digital solutions for sustainable agriculture.
