We are down to our last cup of coffee for this week’s MugKwentuhan Tayo! Podcast episode. Nevertheless, our stories do not stop here as we believe that every coffee bean has its own story to tell. Hear about the state and challenges of the Coffee Industry in the Philippines and how you can contribute to making the Philippines a self-sufficient coffee producer from Sir JC Martinez from the Philippine Coffee Guild in this episode of MugKwentuhan Tayo!
Indigenous communities play a vital role in the coffee industry. This week in the MugKwentuhan Tayo! Podcast series, we join our new hosts Rudy and Flo as they explore the topic of Empowering Communities in Agriculture with Sir Donnel Jun Tiedra from World Coffee Research. The World Coffee Research continuously works with these communities and shares their practices and technologies for a better sustainable future for the coffee industry.
Active involvement of the youth in agriculture is necessary in order to keep the sector alive for the future generations. However, the disinterest of the new generation in agriculture is growing. How can we make them realize the enchanting reality of the sector once more? For the second installment of the podcast series MugKwentuhan Tayo!, let us join our hosts Gio and Lei as they enlighten us in “Engaging the Youth into Agriculture'' with Kyra and Mica from AIESEC in UPLB. Have your coffee ready as we stream and learn together about youth’s role in agriculture.
Today, agribusiness is a growing industry that offers a lot of potential to the youth. For the first episode, catch our guest speaker, Ms. Larissa Joson, and the MugKwentuhan Tayo! volunteers, Gio and Lei, as they talk about establishing a coffee business in the pursuit of creating long-term partnerships with T’Boli farmers.
AIESEC in UPLB and The Dream Coffee bring you MugKwentuhan Tayo!, a four-part podcast series that tells the stories of our indigenous farmers, the local coffee scene, and the power of the youth to drive change.
