Vice Governor Reynaldo Quimpo of the Province of Aklan, also Vice President of ULAP for Visayas, actively participated in a specialized training course focused on building community-driven farm schools (CDFS). The training, held from June 10-14, 2024, aimed to bolster agricultural productivity through local educational initiatives.

The CDFS model provides a grassroots solution, fostering local community involvement in agricultural education. These schools, managed by and for local communities, leverage experienced farmers as trainers. Beyond skill development, CDFS also strengthens community cohesion and encourages youth participation in sustainable rural enterprises.
