SILANG, Cavite —The regional office of the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) in their sincere efforts of supporting the region’s agricultural industry recently celebrated another innovative success with the launching of two coffee table books.
The first book titled: Agriculturally Awesome: A Regional Farm Tourism Travel Guide, features the Department of Tourism (DOT) accredited farm sites, ATI CALABARZON certified Learning Sites, festivals, delicacies, Magsasaka Siyentista and Farmers’ Information and Technology Services Center in the region.
