Before the MOA signing, there was short talk between the parties and Dr. Bradecina of PARSU had stressed out that the sustainability of program partnerships should be the responsibilities of all parties concerned. He visions out that the partnership should transform the secondary schools into agri-edu-tourism sites in Partido District. The schools should be the venue for producing crops and animals that are grown and raised through recent and smart agricultural technologies, for educating students about agricultural related subjects for future food sustainability, for marketing of processed agricultural produces and for attracting tourists who are fun of agriculture. This vision of the PARSU President was applauded by all of the participants in the MOA signing and it is the hope of everybody to be realized soon. -JPSadol
