One of the biggest challenges to farmers in the Philippines is the lack of adequate learning resources that could help them improve their farm practices.
With the opening of the Agricultural Training Institute’s (ATI) e-Library this Tuesday, May 20, the Department of Agriculture (DA) in the Calabarzon region hopes to bridge the knowledge gap between farmers in the region.
The ATI Calabarzon e-Library is a digital platform designed to support farmers, fishers, students, researchers, and the general public by offering free and open access to a wide range of learning resources.
Simply log in at https://aticalabarzon.web.app/home , and users can browse and download materials, search by topic or keyword, and stay up-to-date with the latest publications from ATI and its network of partners and stakeholders in the agri-fisheries sector.
“As the catalyst, capacity builder, and knowledge bank of the Philippine agriculture extension system, this e-Library reflects one of the Institute’s key initiatives—promoting the flexible and accessible dissemination of knowledge across various media formats to empower our clients and stakeholders through continuous learning,” ATI Calabarzon Director Rolando Maningas said in a press release.
He added that the e-Library features a carefully curated collection of digital brochures, pamphlets, booklets, manuals, and other knowledge products covering major agri-fisheries topics aligned with the Institute’s banner programs and focus commodities in the region.
“Among the valuable resources available are materials on crop production, livestock, climate-resilient farming practices, organic agriculture, and agripreneurship,” Maningas said.
