The National Organic Agriculture Program and the Agricultural Training Institute led the kick-off of the 1st International’s Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) Summit in Quezon City as part of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the global PGS initiative.
The summit aims to create meaningful dialogue among organic agriculture stakeholders, assess the current state of organic farming in the Philippines, and develop strategies to address the challenges faced by the local PGS. The event will also present the evolution and impact of the Participatory Guarantee System globally, while fostering collaboration and relationships among all involved in the organic sector.
Aside from interactive discussion, various organic produce and products from PGS farmer-members were highlighted during the Summit. ### (photos by Joseph Henry Elamparo, DA-AFID)
