Information Technology (IT) students from Cavite State University (CvSU) co-developed an innovation that will help the Department of Agriculture – Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) CALABARZON to make agri-fishery information more accessible to the public.
According to ATI CALABARZON, the e-Library and IEC Materials Requisition System co-developed by their Information Services Section and CvSU IT student interns “aims to support farmers, fishers, students, researchers, and the general public by providing free and open access to a wide range of digital learning resources.”
During the launch, Engr. Remelyn Recoter, Director IV of the ATI Central Office, recognized the contribution of CvSU IT students Jude Bautista, James Ezekiel Daquis, Mark Ken Felix Madrid, John Jayson Magboo, Jaissen Yves Nazareno, John Dave Suyat, Johnbert Christiene Tagle, and Ian Gabrielle Teodoro for co-developing this webpage which is part of their internship in the agency.
The said students ranked first and third in ATI CALABARZON’s “Agri-Tech Innovate: Accelerating Digital Solutions for Sustainable Agriculture and Fisheries (Digi Agri Hack)” competition, and are now advancing to the Boot Camp (Mentoring Session) phase.
Now publicly accessible through the webpage https://aticalabarzon.web.app/home, the e-Library contains a collection of learning resources, publications, and other knowledge products on agriculture and fisheries published by ATI and their partners and stakeholders.
“Some of the useful resources underscore crop production, livestock, climate-resilient practices, organic agriculture, and agripreneurship,” ATI CALABARZON said in its press release.
