fermer: Ariel Dave Alvarez
Vendi: Phillipines
Where is your farm located?
Our farm is located in a group of small islands called Camotes Islands in Cebu, Philippines in the town called San Francisco.
What does your farm look like? What is the size of your farm? What do you grow or raise?
My main farm is 8 ai ka [just under 20 akra] farm land and serves as our base. For our corn production, we rent an additional 25 në 35 hektarë [për 62 në 86 akra] of fields. Our farming work is also about Community Development using farming as a tool to help other farmers improve their farming techniques and get them out of poverty.
What are you looking forward to most as you prepare to participate in the 2018 Tryezë Farmer Global?
I’m looking forward most to participating in the 2018 Global Farmer Roundtable and sit among amazing fellow farmers from different parts of the globe mainly to share their experiences, perspectives and challenges to develop a global outlook on how we can further enhance our farming in view of the urgency of increasing population, dwindling numbers of farmlands and climate challenges. I am also looking forward to participating in discussions of how we can further integrate and network ourselves so we can have an impact in our own local farming communities that will represent our participation as a GFN representative to our communities.
