Agriculture is the bread and butter of the Philippine. In 2020, lockdowns and restrictions posed a threat to the farming industry in the country. In the Philippines, when people think of farmers or agriculture, they usually picture long hours toiling in the sun, tilling the soil on the back of a carabao or a tractor. Farming is a laborious process, especially for Millennials & Gen Z, who like everything instant. They prefer anything that can provide satisfaction with minimal effort. That is why they disengage in the trade and do not value farmers.
