CBSUA, ADRA PARTNER TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY SEED BANKS

The Central Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA) recently collaborated with the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) to conduct a two-day training on the establishment of community seed banks. The training, held on January 21-22, 2025, at CBSUA, San Jose, Pili, Camarines Sur, aimed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to successfully establish and manage these vital community resources.

This training falls under ADRA’s TOGETHER project, which focuses on promoting gender equality and improving the health and rights of women and girls. By strengthening community seed banks, the project aims to enhance food security and empower local communities, particularly women, to become more self-reliant in food production.

The training program covered a wide range of topics relevant to seed bank establishment and management. These included bio-intensive gardening practices, proper seed harvesting and storage techniques, integrated pest management, and the importance of utilizing indigenous and heirloom seeds. Participants also engaged in an action planning session to develop strategies for promoting the use of these valuable seed resources within their respective communities.

The training was facilitated by a team of experts from CBSUA’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, as well as representatives from ADRA. The event was well-attended by community members who are actively involved in the BANHIโ€”Bayanihang Pagbibinhi sa Barangay o sa Paaralan program, a key initiative aimed at promoting the establishment and sustainable management of community seed banks. | ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ต ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ด ๐˜ง๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ ๐˜”๐˜ด. ๐˜ˆ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ ๐˜™๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜‰๐˜ฐ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜ด, ๐˜Œ๐˜š๐˜‹ ๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ง๐˜ง
