Ma'am Leni & Angat Buhay People, May I Interest You With Farming With A Heart!? Together, We Can Reinvent Organic Farming – Our Objective Is To Defeat Poverty And Climate Change Wonderfully!
I am a UP Los Baños alumnus, BSA Ag
Edu. (Almost 82; thank God for another year!) Today, I would like to invite
Ma'am Leni Robredo and Angat Buhay to engage in a new
venture/adventure: Organic Farming,
a territory that the males of the species have refused to inhabit! (To check on
my character & reputation, please contact Pids
Rosario, President of Madecor,
Los Baños.)
I call this proposed joint project “Hearts &
Farms” to emphasize more the love and less the labor – I assure you my organic
farming technique I call “Grass2Cash” emphasizes the fact that even with you ladies
with zero experience, the rotavator will convert the weeds into income
magically! (With my instructions, my brother-in-law Enso Casasos had done it for decades!)

Philippines, agriline.ph)
Our Kiko Pangilinan is included because he is a farmer himself. To
start “Hearts & Farms,” Angat Buhay will provide funds for the techno-demo
and training of Angat Buhay ladies. (Of funding, we can talk about the details
off-Facebook.) With enough funds, I would like to start the training via the Nagkaisa Multi-Purpose Cooperative of
which I have been a board member; Nagkaisa is based in Asingan, Pangasinan, my
hometown. The first female volunteers will train with the off-the-shelf rotavator.
I emphasize the coop as the entity for working with
the rotavator and organic farming. We know that the good coop works for the
good of every member.
Why do we want organic farming in
our fields? Based in Canada, award-winning Japanese environment activist David Suzuki says (“What You Eat Affects
The Climate,” David Suzuki Foundation, davidsuzuki.org):
Studies show that chemical farming uses more energy per unit of production
than organic farming. Synthetic nitrogen fertilizers in soils produce nitrous
oxide, a greenhouse gas about 300 times more powerful than carbon dioxide at
trapping heat in the atmosphere.
With organic farming, we want to change the climate
for the better!
We can take heart that a few
Americans have taken heart with their agriculture. Thus, “Heart & Soil Farm” is found in “the
heart of the Red River Valley, North Dakota (Heart
& Soil Farm, heartandsoilfarm.com).
At the start, I will train Angat
Buhay ladies how to operate the off-the-shelf rotavator with my adjustments
to bring about the desired results all over the field. I call that output:
Rotavator Organic WEALTh
where WEALTh means “Weeds-Enriched
Automatic Layer of Trash Triggering Terrestrial Health” – your automatic
organic mulch that will turn itself into organic fertilizer as needed,
beginning Day 1.
As our “Hearts & Farms” project proceeds, we
will reinvent the rotavator to produce that Organic WEALTh automatically!@517
