Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project training young leaders on agro-ecology. This subject matter is very important in view of the problem of soil erosion and loss of soil fertility as well as loss of biodiversity especially in the upland areas. The loss of biodiversity means also the loss of livelihoods of future generations and this will spell trouble especially for those who are already poor and who are eking an existence in the mountains. Thanks to a local donor we are able to amplify the results of this project by engaging 120 youth leaders located in 3 municipalities in Misamis Oriental to undertake a 3-day training on crop diversification and sustainable farming. This is with the aim of improving the ecosystem as well as providing food for those who are engaged in farming. The topics being tackled include farm design, most important crop species, farm planning, use of local resources in improving the farm and integration of crops and animals in a farming system. The youth leaders were very enthusiastic especially that after the trainings they were provided with starter inputs such as vegetable seeds, organic fertilizer, chicks and ducklings.
Hoping for your continuing support to this project.
Very sincerely yours,
Jed Christian
