S-BULLONES PALAYAMANAN FARMERS PLAN FOR 2012
A project direction should be guided by the light of the past and the hopes of a better tomorrow. This could only be achieved through a participative consultation of all stakeholders most especially the direct beneficiaries of the project. They know what is best and achievable for them.
The PALAYAMANAN Group of Sta. Cruz did their Annual Project Planning Workshop last January 20, 2012. It was attended by four (4) staffs from the LGUs, MAO’s office and five (5) staff from the Bohol Agricultural Promotion Center (BAPC). The Barangay council of Sta. Cruz was duly represented by the Barangay Captain and most of the kagawads who are also PALAYAMANAN members. Then most of the 31 farmer-partners of the Palayamanan Group attended the planning workshop, showing their desire in making their plans realistic and achievable, hence the project sustainability.
During the workshop, the farmers identified their problems and its corresponding solutions. This procedure encourages farmer participation and decision making. They also agreed on a schedule of activities to achieve their goals for the year.
The Project is promoting diversified and integrated rice-based farming system to improve the agricultural productivity of the community. The “Real Learning for Real Farming Approach” is an effective technology promotion system which enable the Department of Agriculture, together with their local LGU counterparts to work together in addressing the food sufficiency program of the government.
