The
Cotabato Agriculture and Resources Research and Development Consortium
(CARRDEC) has successfully conducted its 16th R&D highlights
symposium and technology commercialization forum with the theme
“Adding Value to Research, Development and Extension (RDE)
through Partnership”
The two-day
activity, held 30-31 August featured 3 paper presentations in the
research category, 4 papers in the development category during the
R&D symposium; and presentations on good farming practices from

Best
papers received a cash prize of P2,000 each and certificates of
recognition while the runners-up received certificates. The winners
were encouraged to submit their papers to PCARRD for screening and
evaluation for possible presentation during the National Symposium
on Agricultural Resources Research and Development (NSARRD) in November.
Meanwhile, the technology forum, which featured
topics on organic farming and sustainable agriculture, received
positive reactions from participants and farmers.
For Mr. Danilo Java, a farmer, organic agriculture
seemed unachievable. With the technology forum, he realized, “we
have all the resources: technology, human capital, land, money and
others”. He added, “with our concerted efforts, we will
be able to achieve our dream of having a healthy nation.”
The
event was hosted by the Southern Christian College (SCC), Midsayap,
Cotabato. (Leonila M. Tolentino, CARRDEC)
