CARRDEC converges with neighbor consortia for knowledge search


For the Cotabato Agriculture and Resources Research and Development Consortium (CARRDEC), discovering new things is never boring.

In order to find new ways of upgrading the capability of its Techno Gabay Program (TGP) and Techno Pinoy center staff, CARRDEC went on a learning mission, the Lakbay Aral 2007, to Northern Mindanao and the Visayas, specifically Region VIII from 22 to 23 May.

 
CARRDEC’s Lakbay Aral 2007 group.

The Lakbay Aral group, headed by the Regional TGP coordinator, Dr. Cayetano C. Pomares, visited some Techno Pinoy centers and S&T-based farms of the Visayas Consortium for Agriculture Resource Program (ViCARP) and of the Northern Mindanao Consortium for Resources Research and Development (NOMCARRD).



Lakbay Aral participants note down important tips from a Magsasaka Siyentista on tilapia production.		  


The initiative is seen to enhance the capabilities of the TGP implementers on technology promotion and commercialization. It served as a venue for the Magsasaka Siyentistas (MSs) of the consortia to share farming experiences and quality-planting materials. Participants also availed of some IEC materials for free.

With the lessons learned from the Lakbay Aral, CARRDEC is hopeful that that the Techno Pinoy centers in the region will be able to continue satisfying the technology and information needs of its clients. (Leonila Tolentino, CARRDEC)
