OUR CBR JOURNEY: EXPLORING THE ROLE OF FARMING AND BUSINESS

 

Throughout our Community-Based Research (CBR) , we experience and learned a lot, and it is very enriching and interesting, the fact that we interviewed some of the farmers and vendors in our community, which is Brgy. Tamorong, Santa Catalina. We learned a lot from them through engaging with the farmers and vendors. We interview them by asking questions and also listening to their stories, challenges, and struggles they face in their daily lives. We discovered their hard work and patience that was a commitment to providing fresh and good produce products or crops to the community.

This journey has meaningful connections to us with them. Farming and Businessing was their way of  success and also their source of income for their daily needs of their families. They also are their primary source of the key to survival and prosperity. Agricultural and economic industries had a significant impact between the farmers and businessperson.
