Villar welcomes farmers to sustainable pig farming training program
Sen. Cynthia Villar welcomed another batch of backyard swine farmers and agriculture enthusiasts to the sustainable pig farming training program at the Villar SIPAG Farm School in Bacoor, Cavite. More than 30 participants coming from Calabarzon and the National Capital Region signed up for the training program conducted in partnership with theVillar Social Institute for Poverty Alleviation and Governance (Villar SIPAG) and the Agricultural Training Institute. “Katulad ng iba pang training courses na ginawa namin, hangad namin na matulungan kayo na mapalago ang inyong mga kita sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng mga dagdag na kaalaman sa inyo,” Villar said in her welcome remarks. Villar, who is expected to continue to lead the Committee on Agriculture and Food in the 18th Congress, noted that backyard hog-raising or pig farming is one of the alternative sources of additional income of many farmers because it requires only a small capital.
