The manual is clear and I just downloaded this material to check if it allows me to download the material online. I just created an account today, August 28, 2023 and I am checking if I can still use and navigate all the features this website has to offer. I am glad that this rating box is still here which is same as the old website. I like the look of the new online library, it is easy to navigate and you won't get confused on each category unlike the old one. Thank you for upgrading this website! Good Job!
This is very practical. I hope that this would be produced in a format accessible to those who need it the most

Thank you so much! Very informative.
This training manual serves as an extensive and organized tool for developing skills in organic agriculture. It is structured into modular lessons addressing essential subjects like soil health, crop and livestock production, pest control, certification, and marketing. The guide successfully merges scientific insights with conventional techniques and practical approaches. This makes it useful for both trainers and self-learners. It also includes self-tests and farm-based activities that support practical learning. While the manual needs updates on certification policies and climate-resilient practices, it remains a valuable reference for promoting sustainable agriculture in the Philippines.
