Dasmari̱as City, Cavite РHundreds of farmers, agriculture enthusiasts, researchers, students and concerned partakers attended Agri Talk 2019: Urban Agriculture Promotion, the fourth and last leg of free seminars conducted by the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) through its Regional Training Center in CaLaBaRZon.

ATI Region IV-A Center Director Ms. Marites Cosico in welcoming the guest speakers and participants, stated that the seminar is aimed to promote urban agriculture that could be done in the confines of everyone’s house highlighting the benefits derived from this.

“Ang AgriTalk 2019 ay isang free seminar na naglalayong i-promote ang Urban Agriculture na kung saan kahit sa inyong bahay-bahay ay maaaring makapagtanim at makapagpatubo ng halaman, gulay o prutas. Sa ganitong paraan ay mas nakakasiguro ka pa na ligtas ang inyong kakainin dahil ikaw mismo ang nagtanim. Mas makakatipid din dahil hindi mo na kailangan pang bumili sa tindahan o palengke,” Ms. Cosico said.
