This program explores the experiences of Jed and Roger. Jed, identifying himself as a development worker, permaculturist, and sustainable agriculture activist like TL, recounts how he conceived the idea for Bahay Teknik while working in a non-governmental organization focused on appropriate technologies. He dedicated his efforts to simplifying complex sustainable technologies, making them accessible for learning and application in rural households. Jed and Roger engage in a discussion about the evolution of composting, originally introduced only at the barangay/local government level but now applicable to individual households. Furthermore, Jed and Roger discuss the environmental impact of conventional agriculture, emphasizing its significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. They underscore the role of agriculture as the second-largest emitting sector, following industry.
