Skills enhancement for farmers goes digital Oct 2020 Bubalus Skills ,enhancement ,digital ,NIZ,KMD By Charlene Corpuz The Department of Agriculture-Philippine Carabao Center (DA-PCC) lends tablet PCs to 20 select dairy farmers in Nueva Ecija. At any given time, the gadget will be used by farmers to access the learning modules on dairy buffalo production and management developed by the DA-PCC. Skills enhancement for farmers goes digital The digitization of the training modality, spearheaded by the PCC’s Knowledge Management Division (KMD) and National Impact Zone (NIZ), is a component of the Cara-Aralan Webinar Series on “Gabay sa Wastong Pangangalaga ng Kalabaw” in response to the new normal. With this intervention, farmers will still be in the know with the latest technologies and updates about the DA-PCC. Initially, select farmers from NIZ-assisted cooperatives in Nueva Ecija such as Licaong Dairy Producers Cooperative, Science City of Muñoz; Bongabon Dairy Cooperative, Bongabon; and Ayos Lomboy Dairy Producers Cooperative, Guimba were oriented about the use of the gadget and how to effectively navigate through its content of pre-loaded learning videos. The gadgets contain instructional videos on raising healthy and productive buffaloes and establishing a dairy business. In 2021, the KMD-Learning Events Coordination Section and NIZ will facilitate the access of more cooperatives to the learning platform that is expected to be useful for more farmers by pass-along viewership. Priority cooperatives would be those that are newly organized or can not be serviced yet due to the health crisis. Farmers will also receive various information, education and communication (IEC) materials as supplemental reference. Participants of the webinar who will use the tablet will be asked to accomplish a digital feedback form to gauge their knowledge pre- and post-webinar. While remote digital learning would suffice to ensure that capability building for farmers is pursued without close physical interactions, some trainings still require such. “Cara-Aralan sa Niyugan”, a webinar specifically intended for the DA-PCC and DA-Philippine Coconut Authority collaborative project called Coconut-Carabao Development Project, will use a blended approach to cater to this.
