[Protogen.Dynolab Quick Journal 01: Support Filipino Farmers]
"Kung sino pa ang nagtanim, sila pa ang walang makain"
"Ang dami nating kapatagan pero nag-iimport naman tayo ng bigas"
Did you know that according to the recent study, majority of FILIPINO FARMERS ARE AGING with an average age of 53. Another fact is that the farmers are not even ecouraging their children to pursue farming. What could be the reason? Is the youth not even attracted to agriculture sector? There are numerous reports and articles pointing out the challenges that are currently faced by our farmers such as the RECENT TYPHOONS affecting their plantations, LACK OF FUNDING, LIMITED ACCESS to modernized farming and LACK OF NETWORK TO DIRECT BUYERS. As a result, they are included in the category of sectors who are experiencing HUNGER AND POVERTY. With this in mind, it is an ABSURD IDEA that the farmers who are in-charge of food production are also the ones who are battling with poverty, hunger, and injustice. So what could we do to help them? Hindi lang naman gobyerno ang pwedeng gumawa ng solusyon. May magagawa ka. SUPPORT THEM. Buy local products, inform people about the importance of agriculture, ITANIM MO sa utak mo at nila na MARANGAL NA TRABAHO ANG PAGBUBUNGKAL NG LUPA.
