Research investments from the public sector have greatly enhanced agricultural productivity in Thailand and Indonesia. International research, especially through the Consortium of International Agricultural Research Centers system, has also made a substantial impact. However, spending on agricultural extension in these countries has not yielded the same productivity benefits.

There is a need for further investment in agricultural research. Despite annual returns of 25–30 percent, the current funding is inadequate. By increasing public investment, particularly in adapting global technologies to local contexts, even greater growth can be achieved.

Agriculture is diverse (robotics, automation, food tech, policy and law, education and training, crop science, animal science, mechanical engineering, genetic engineering, biotechnology, information technology, environmental science, chemical engineering, economics, logistics and supply chain management, renewable energy, and many more)

You can pursue other fields and still contribute to agriculture

A recent study on youth in Bukidnon reveals fascinating insights into their views on agriculture. Forty-five percent express willingness to engage in agricultural activities. However, despite their interest, more than half (55%) are hesitant to pursue a degree in agriculture.

Youth in Bukidnon exhibit a low level of agricultural knowledge and skills. This gap highlights the need for enhanced agricultural education and training programs.

Ever wondered where the hair from our world's 8 billion people goes? A local startup, Capilli sees hair as a resource for innovation and sustainability. By turning waste hair into valuable materials, Capilli supports the circular economy, creating jobs and promoting eco-friendly practices—one strand at a time.

Last year, with Capilli and Matter of Trust PH, they donated 600kg of human hair to aid in the Mindoro Oil Spill as human hair can adsorb three to nine times their weight in oil.

This time, they teamed up with us, Fresco-Greenovations to explore potential agricultural applications of human hair

Big thanks to Dennis Ivan Chavez and Fresco-Greenovations for allowing us to visit their farm! Capilli can't wait to explore collaboration opportunities on sustainable farming. Stay tuned for possible partnerships in the future! 🌱
