CURRENT trends and strategies on organic food production and technology were among the highlights in Monday's opening of the 4th Regional Organic Agri-Fair Seminar and Exhibits.

With the Central Philippine University (CPU) as returning host, the weeklong event is led by the school in partnership with the Department of Agriculture (DA)-Western Visayas office.

During the event, themed Organic Agriculture: Opportunities and Challenges in Asean 2015, industry advocates are one in saying that the agri-fair is important in the coming Asean integration.

The opportunity for farmers and local government units to develop agricultural technology that is in line with the advocacy of organic food production will be availed at the technology and livelihood seminars prepared by the organizers, said the event organizers in a press release.

The weeklong agri-fair kicked off with seminars and art contests. A symbolic 4-K fun run also gathered running enthusiasts, agency representatives and students. (With reports from Cyrus Natividad)
