Experience of young farmer  

Jumer shared with hosts Roger and TL how he discovered that he fell into the category of a young farmer when he was part of GPPC (Golden Parauma Producers Coop). Having been accustomed to engaging in farm work with his father from a young age, Jumer discussed how realizing his young farmer status empowered him. This realization motivated him to encourage fellow young individuals to contribute to sustaining and developing Philippine agriculture into the future. The hosts discussed several important points with Jumer, including the need for young people to reflect on their priorities. Jumer emphasized that many young individuals require critical realizations to alter their perspectives on farming. Drawing from his experience as a community organizer, TL shared that finding people to engage in conversations with is an effective method to inspire commitment to the movement of promoting agriculture among young people.
