/ 8 October 2023
SENATE President Pro Tempore Loren Legarda urged the government to make farm schools accessible to rice farmers.
Legarda stressed the importance of giving the public easy access to farm schools.
She made the suggestion after asking the Department of Agriculture how the local government units train farmers.
The DA said there are 681 farm schools nationwide accredited by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority.
Legarda said the law provides that farmers need training and capacity building.
