🌱 The Story of Striving in Agriculture🌱
When I first learned about the Department of Agriculture's program, I immediately thought of joining—despite having little knowledge about it. I didn’t hesitate to participate, attending seminars and workshops to expand my understanding.
Little did I know, stepping into this journey would be emotionally exhausting, physically draining, and mentally demanding. Yet, it also gave me a reason to visualize my vision and turn it into reality—with support, funding, linkages, and countless opportunities along the way.
Through this experience, I discovered that my love for agriculture was never an accident; it was meant to be. Growing up in a family of farmers, farming was never a coincidence but a part of who I am.
Even people told me that my profession was far from my agriculture venture. But I believe that helping to strive and survive through farming—whether livestock or tree farming like cacao—is such an honor.
Before, I was told that being a farmer was nothing. Today, I realize—being a farmer is everything. 🌾✨
