We want our partner farmers to be prepared and resilient amidst the changing weather conditions that affect the productivity of their harvest. We introduced the farming of Adlai, a relatively low-maintenance crop which makes it a source of sustainable livelihood for farmers.
Last June 16-17, 2022, Adlai training was conducted in Tuburan and Dumarao with actual planting in the demo farm to introduce a resilient variety and a healthy rice alternative.
GRF Hublag challenged the partners to shift to planting Adlai and offered to buy the unmilled grain at P40 per kilo.
Adlai makes an ideal sustainable livelihood for farmers as it can survive under any type of climate condition, requires minimal irrigation as it can survive in slope areas and can benefit from rainfall, and requires minimal fertilizer.
One corn farmer in Balasan took the challenge where Hublag provided free inputs.
Kudos for the change!!
