In response to the university's initiative in addressing the energy crisis packaged through the "AGRI-BAYANIHAN: Ugnayan ng Pamantasan at Pamayanan para sa Seguridad sa Pagkain sa Gitna ng Krisis sa Enerhiya", a Training on Crop Production and Management was organized for the student dormitory personnel last 26 May 2026, 9 AM-3 PM, at the Women's Residence Hall Lobby.
The training was conducted by the UPLB Institute of Plant Breeding (IPB), in coordination with the UPLB Office of Student Housing (OSH), as part of the university's efforts in strengthening unit-based vegetable gardens and capacity building. With its four-lecture series, the activity featured hands-on demonstrations from invited speakers from IPB.
The first lecture titled “Crop Production Practices,” was delivered by University Reseaecher Ms. Jennelyn C. Bengoa, followed by the second lecture titled, “Seed Harvesting and Processing,” which was presented by University Researcher Ms. Maria Cielo Paola B. Rodriguez.
A practical demonstration of the third lecture with the title "Simple Nutrient Addition Program (SNAP) Hydroponics," was discussed by the SNAP project staff Mr. Rustom P. Velasco and Mr. Allen T. Lanao, followed by the concluding lecture of "DIY Natural Farm Inputs" facilitated by University Researcher Bengoa and Agricultural Technician Mr. Crislan Aglibot. Additionally, the training activity also involved pre and post tests, open forum, training evaluation, and seedling distribution for participants.
In retrospect, OSH Director Marcelina C. Miranda thanked the speakers and participants for their active participation and support in promoting sustainable food production initiatives for student dorm residents and staff within the university community.
