Study Tour "Lakbay-Aral" in an Organic Farm

for Hospitality (HRM), Culinary Arts (any food service course)

At the top of the food chain are the Chefs and Restaurateurs who the Hospitality, Culinary Arts students are aspiring for. 

In the school community, which is their training ground, they are in the forefront in food preparation and quality service to diners.  They design new food products, explore ways to process food with the right packaging, plan and create menus, supervise the work in the kitchen and setup in the dining.  They ensure safety and quality.  With safety and quality vis a vis sustainability, food is ensure availability today and tomorrow.

What is sustainability in the eyes of Chefs and Restaurateurs?  What is sustainable agriculture and why is it important for Food Service students to know? 
With the mushrooming concern on environment, students from these courses (short course or collegiate course) have the close interaction with the immediate recipient of global warming/climate change, destructive conventional agricultural practices, agricultural products with agrochemical residues.  Awareness on these issues can we only develop a solution facing our environment, put action, mitigate health risks that could lead to extinction of human race.

With the modern lifestyle of eating low quality, non-nutritious "fast" food or drinking soft drink, humans have lost their connection with the right food and the value in their lives.  It is in the potentional for long-term maintenance on well-being of people that the dependency on the well-being of the natural world and the responsible use of natural resources come alive.

The KaSaMa KA Organik Koop in Malvar, Batangas, Philippines has designed an environment / health  / food study tour for Culinary Arts, Hotel and Restaurant Managers students with the line of emphasis on the role of organic and sustainable agriculture in ensuring the supply of safe and affordable food, halting global warming & climate change, and reducing the detrimental environmental impact of conventional agriculture that depends largely on toxic chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
