THE CENTRAL  Luzon State University has launched its Engaging Food and Agriculture Resources Management Academy program.

The eFARM Academy seeks to bring technologies and innovations to a larger and diverse audience such as local and foreign students, life-long tourist learners, and farmers.

Local government units and higher education institutions here and abroad will also benefit from the program.

EFARM is a P15.4 million project funded by the Commission on Higher Education. It is spearheaded by Dr. Gella Patria L. Abella, program leader and head of the Institute for Climate Change and Environmental Management.

CHED chief Prospero De Vera III, who attended the launch of the program, lauded CLSU for its efforts to internationalize higher education.

“I came here to congratulate everyone for doing everything despite the hardship brought by the pandemic. The education continued, we persevered in the worst of times,” De Vera said.

“Karapat-dapat lamang bigyan ang CLSU ng proyekto dahil isa ito sa mga pamantasang hinirang na pinakamagaling sa Asya sa internationalization. Dapat lang na dumami ang proyekto kasi magaling kayo, the proof is your inclusion on Top 15 best universities in the QS World Rankings,” he added.
