a-sprouting-seedThis is an offshoot of my previous blog on organic/natural farming which I intend to expand and improve by making it more systematic, engaging and informative.

I have been mulling on several names to best describe the several earth-friendly ways of farming here in the Philippines. I know that there are many varying mindsets ranging from organic, natural, bio-dynamic, ecofarming and other labels but I think that all of them have a common goal of practicing a sustainable way of farming that considers the best interest of people and the environment. Finally, (after some thought) I decided to use the Pinoy Eco Farmer tag to encompass all of them. Eco is short for ecological which means tending or intended to benefit or protect the environment.

My approach is to make this as a venue for the promotion of an ecological and sustainable way of farming (household/small and economic scale) by featuring best practices here in the Philippines. The topics will likewise include other related articles on waste management, energy management, boosting one’s health, and other green initiatives so readers will know and be inspired to do it in their own homes/farms/offices. I hope that we can provide a more comprehensive source of information for those who are planning to go or shift to this way of farming.
