What Next?

How Did We Do?

In hindsight, the roving workshop largely attained its objectives, and the participants felt that most, if not all, of their expectations were met. The field visits and interactions with farmers and Landcare partners in Claveria were invaluable in providing new knowledge and insights into the evolving technical and institutional innovations that underpin conservation farming in northern Mindanao. This, in turn, helped to generate new and fertile ideas and approaches for future conservation farming research, training and dissemination work in Vietnam.

The roving workshop also contributed to building stronger professional and personal relationships among key Vietnamese, Filipino and ICRAF colleagues, which may be one of the most sustainable and important outcomes of our time together in northern Mindanao!
