DILIMAN, Quezon City—The Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) continues to entice private organizations and institutions to be accredited as Private Agriculture and Fisheries – Extension Service Provider (PAF-ESP) to share their expertise on agriculture and fisheries, and other aspects of agriculture so that more smallholder farmers and fishers will be reached and capacitated.
On December 12-13, 2022, the Institute conducted the Extension Partners’ Forum 2022 at the Rural Development Education Center of ATI Central Office. It was participated by several accredited national and regional PAF-ESP cooperators and council members, and some ATI staff.
The forum served as a platform to strengthen stakeholders’ commitment and partnerships, provide updates on the program, share best practices that can be replicated, promote PAF-ESPs’ products and services, and establish a better market linkage, among others.
