00:13But don't judge them just yet.

00:23but organic farming.

00:27They started doing this in 2020 when they were able to convince the local government of Alfonso

00:35to form an organization for women.

00:39We were told that we need to put up a women's council here in the town of Alfonso.

00:45Together with the women and power men in their barangay,

00:49there are various livelihood programs.

00:52This includes farming and the sale of organic vegetables.

00:57Here in the town of Alfonso, there are a lot of lands in Tiwangwang

01:01where we thought of doing a project and a program for women.

01:07Because first of all, to help every woman in terms of livelihood.

01:14This is a health benefit for organic farming.

01:24So it's less susceptible to damage to our food.

01:31According to the group, it's important for organic farming to use fertile land.

01:36This is what we use for planting our plants.

01:41This is the land where you can grow diamond, rice, and banana leaves.

01:47All six vegetables are sold in the market and in their barangays at a cheap price.

01:56Nothing is wasted in their crops here

02:00because the excess vegetables can be used for other things.

02:05They make salad and pickles.

02:10Aside from livelihood, they also teach their barangay the importance of eating healthy food.

02:17We use organic farming to improve our health.

02:24Because we don't use any synthetics.
