Vietnam VNM
Hello from Junedel

I am from the Philippines, working at IIRR (International Institute of Rural Reconstruction) Philippine Program at Panay Learning Community in Ivisan, Capiz. We work on different project with various approaches (such as Psychosocial, DRRM and Livelihood), and promote CSA (climate smart agriculture) in crops, aquaculture and livestock. I acquired a lot of learning from this training on living Bio Beds for swine farming in Hanoi. On the 4th day of training, we visited the living Bio Beds demonstration farm, where they practice the organic pig rising and production. The breeds raised in the farm are native pigs. We observed that they have strictly manage by using foot bath (disinfectants) before entering the farm by the visitor/adapter, the organic feed they used in feeding are made from waste product of soya beans in Tofu production, corn bran and rice residue from rice wine processing. Feed are fermented inside the plastic container for 1 to 3 days depending on the temperature before feeding pigs. It takes 6 months of time for pigs to be ready for market/slaughter with the average weight of 70 to 90 kilos live weight. The advantage of the approach is that the meat produced can generate more profits comparing to the traditional and commercial pigs raise. Taking this opportunity I will make necessary adaptation and bring this technology to the organization and to the small farmers in community where I worked and where there are climate smart agriculture practice and business opportunity.

Hong Ha Visit

I am Joselito, from Philippines and I work as Farm officer at IIRR ( International Institute of Rural Reconstruction, Yen Center ). On the third day of our training, we visited Hong Ha, the community that most of the households are raising pigs, but one thing we noticed, the waste disposal directly goes to the Red River, which will create a big problem to our environment, and we think that the technology of Living Bio beds will help a lot to solved this problem.

Day 1: A new start
It is a good opportunity for me to participate into “ Farming for Biodiversity Campaining for Conservation” in Bavi, Hanoi from 6th to 17th August 2018”. On only first day of the workshop, I got a lot of information and some terms such as “social marketing”, “diffusion of innovation” which are quite new to me. These definitions could have opened my mind to a new agricultural approach in term of social aspect which is more effective than traditional way. I hope after 12 days of workshop, I will obtain enough knowledge to successfully make a proposal of bio-bed in pig production in some small scales that could promote the organic agricultural production in Vietnam.
