Dude, are you going to Organic Fest?
Imagine an island in the Asian Pacific where vegetables, sugarcane, rice and corn are grown without pesticides or genetic modification, where sustainable fisheries are managed responsibly, where animals graze freely outside and are not injected with artificial hormones. Now imagine a festival celebrating these practices. Nirvana? No. Negros.
Both Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental will be hosting its first ever Organic Farming Festival this July 13th-15th to promote organic farming on the island. The festival will showcase new technologies and strategies in organic food production to show that demand from the national government to increase production does not have to mean the demise of organic farms on the island. Among the issues discussed will be the success of organic farms in other areas of the province, the benefits of using organic fertilizer for soil, and how organic farming on the island will increase global competitiveness.
An island setting, delicious food, and a festival? Sounds pretty sweet to me.
