What is iluvfarmers?

Farming is not as fun as Farmville. Somewhere in the mountains are unsung heroes who work so hard without complaining so they could provide us with food and basic needs for their families at home.

iluvfarmers is a fundraising and awareness campaign spearheaded by the Team CPMPC scholars of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. for the ”Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan” program of the Municipality of Consolacion.

What is Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan?

Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan is a farmer empowerment program in the Philippines that aims to give local farmers proper training to yield abundant and quality fruits and veggies.

It is currently being done in the Municipality of Consolacion with over 180 farmers. Every Friday, farmers gather at the farm demo site in a 5,000 square meter agricultural land in Barangay Danglag, Consolacion to take part in the training given by Harbest Agribusiness Corporation.

The program has graduated more than 2,000 farmers nationwide in different farm sites. Because of it, farmers have learned about intensive dual-tech hands-on training on commercial production technology for different vegetables and short –term fruits such as melon, watermelon, cucumber, eggplant, squash, ampalaya, sweet corn and papaya.
