Agriculture Secretary Manny Piñol operates the “Juan Magsasaka Project”’, an online platform and mobile application of the Registry System of Basic Sectors in Agriculture (RSBSA) that can be accessed 24/7 for the registration and updating of farmers and fisherfolks database. Juan Magsasaka, which will be launched under the Digitalization of Agriculture initiative of the Department will include the geo-tagging and geo-referencing of all farm parcels and monitoring of all interventions received by farmers and fishers from the government. The project, which is expected to be complete by 2021, supports the proposed Pension Fund for farmers and fishermen. It is developed in partnership with the Information and Communications Technology Service (ICTS) and BFAR-FIMC. ### (Photo by Ardy Tompong, DA-AFID)
