No to GMO: Organic Agriculture Act to be signed by GMA

Organic Agriculture is the production of crops and livestock that relies on the ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of chemical inputs and in-organic fertilizers.

It fosters the principles of Care, Health, Ecology and Fairness.  Care for this generation and the future; promote a truly Healthy food (albeit: free of pesticides, hormones, chemicals); preserve Ecological balance; Fair in giving equal opportunity to non-conventional farmers.  These principles and more are learned from our Study Tour in an Organic Farm (Lakbay-Aral sa Bukid Organiko) which is facilitated by a professional pool of resource persons/specialists who provides lecture on organic agriculture, farming practices and hands-on technology demonstration. The study tour is tailored according to the level of the audience and requirements of the group.  Study Tour is for everybody just as the protection of earth is by everybody. 

Some of the Organizations that have been to the farm are CFA Homeschoolers with parents and teachers; De La Salle Lipa faculty and students; United Nations Filipino Consultants and Expatriate Staff; Medical doctors and practitioners of Alternative medicine; Agricultural Development and Marketing Officers from Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Japan and Philippines.

We support and assist farmers who would like to switch to Organic Farming!  The real farmers are those who have taken on the vital role in the health of people, economy of nation and balance of ecosystem.  They deserve to be rewarded with increased income, lower cost of capital, higher production yield and empowered network of supporting components.  For non-agriculturists, be informed of the benefits to you and family of going organic. 

Let's do our share in protecting our Mother Earth, join us tomorrow as we switch off our lights from 8:30PM to 9:30PM!  As one people, we are united in raising awareness and taking action to fight climate change.
