"I am incredibly thankful for the YIPOA program, for opening countless doors for me." shared Kim of Kayapa, Nueva Vizcaya, a proud participant of the Youth Internship Program on Organic Agriculture (YIPOA). She boosted her income by 50% by adding tilapia, free-range chicken, and goat production to her farm.
During her training, she learned how to farm the Nature's way. This include Permanent Agriculture, which is to mimic the "Nature's way" that integrates all organisms in one place, Jadam Fertilizer which is cost effective fertilizer that only involves camote and IMOs, Black Soldier Fly culture and Concoction Formulation technologies which are ways to sustainable, efficient, environmental and economically friendly approach to farming.
“Organic farming is revolutionary to me,” Kim said proudly. “Because of YIPOA, I was also able to connect with buyers like Vizcaya Fresh Advocates Inc. and other local markets. The trainings weren’t always easy, but with dedication and a positive mindset, I gained the knowledge and tools to grow, thrive, and dream bigger.”
