KAISAHAN TUNGO SA KAUNLARAN AT KANAYUNAN AT REPORMANG PANSAKAHAN (SOLIDARITY TOWARDS AGRARIAN REFORM AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT), INC.
Title of Project: Bridging Generational Gap in Farming
KAISAHAN is a legal empowerment organization whose goal is to empower marginalized groups especially farmers and farm workers in the rural areas for them to be able to undertake their own development and participate in the democratic processes, especially at the local level to engage in local governance, and to fight for their land rights. They train farmers to be paralegals so they themselves can protect their rights. The project Bridging Generational Gap in Farming increases the involvement of the youth in the farm activities of their families through an innovation called Family Farm Plot Development and Field-Based Mentorship Program. This initiative taps on the inclination of the youth to agriculture through out-of-the-box agricultural capacity strengthening, and their relationship with their agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARB) parents through a mentorship feature. This innovation also taps on the preservation and transfer of traditional farm practices through new-age technologies and support service access for both senior and the next generation of farmers.
