THE DEPARTMENT of Science and Technology–Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST-PCARRD) recently held several writing workshops in different parts of the country to develop online learning modules focused on agriculture and forestry.
The workshops initially focused on goat production and health and organic fertilizer production and application.
The modules would be part of the e-learning program delivered by the Open Academy for Philippine Agriculture, which conducts the nationwide K-Agrinet (Knowledge Networking towards Enterprising Agricultural Communities), aimed at developing and modernizing the country’s agricultural sector.
The e-learning modules on goat, organic fertilizer and bamboo are funded by PCARRD through its Enhancing FITS for Rural Development project.
The modules will also form part of the e-learning program offered by the Open Academy for Philippine Agriculture.
The goat enterprise materials were developed by professors from the Central Luzon State University and the Leyte State University.
Likewise, the University of the Philippines Los Baños-Institute of Plant Breeding (UPLB-IPB) developed the module for organic fertilizer production.
Another module on bamboo production is also set to be developed.
