Regenerative Agriculture, Help! 13

After noting that PhilRice is not into Cover Cropping as one of its recommendations for Filipino farmers – see my 30 Aug 2024 article, “Help, 1! Cover Crops To Produce The New Rich Rice Farmer, To Help Him Raise Rice Right!” Regenerative Agriculture , blogspot.com – I’m glad PhilRice is into Crop Rotation, as I see this practice as one of the 13 Regenerative  Agriculture (RA) practices that can help rice farmers grow themselves out of poverty! (Because the PH government is not trying to do that or is silent on zeroing the poverty numbers of Filipino farmers! (I don’t know why – and I’m not going to wait for explanations; I am doing what I can as a writer who happens to be an agriculturist and much bothered about the millions of poor Filipino farmers! (image from m13educators ) Wikipedia says ( en.wikipedia.org ): Crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of different types of crops in the same area across a sequence of growing seasons. This practice reduces the reli

Correct me if I am wrong, but our PH government is not directly helping our farmers rise from poverty and stay up there! No such plans that I know.

It’s not that they don’t know how – it’s that they are not paying attention !

How can I, an alumnus, explain the lack of attention of my alma mater to farming practices that are low-costs-high-returns? Don’t ask me – ask them! Our farmers will rise from poverty if their earnings are great! That is, their costs are low and their returns are high – I don’t knw of any government official concerned about raising the standard of earnings of Filipino farmers, an

“Help!” shout The Beatles. Most Filipino farmers, I’m guessing now, are actually minding their own business and are not thinking of asking help from anyone to get them out of poverty. Or, which is the same, they don’t know how to get out of poverty! And? And the government is not helping them any. Sympathizing, yes, but not helping them get out, So! On how to help the millions, plural, of Filipino farmers get out of poverty, I have something to offer. Some 24 years after starting to blog earnestly, via WordPress . com , today via Blogspot.com, at almost 84 (everyday praying to God for more years, at least up to 111, Lord), via this new blog of mine “ Regenerative Agriculture , 13” (Good luck!) – I am dedicating the rest of my life to these 13 practices of Regenerative Agriculture (RA) that I have collected in my decades of browsing the Internet (alphabetized): 1, Cover Cropping 2, Crop Rotation 3, Farm Crops + Tree Crops (Agroforestry) 4, Green Manuring 5, Intercropping 6,
