โMinbel Fajurano Senit, a 2nd-year Bachelor of Science in Agriculture student at Makilala Institute of Science and Technology, proudly represented her community. As a youth representative of the Nabundasan-Tuburan Organic Farmers Association, she was invited to participate in a regional capacity-building workshop for Southeast Asian women community leaders, which was held in Siem Reap, Cambodia, from November 26โ30, 2025.
โ
โThis important gathering brought together women leaders, community organizers, and grassroots advocates from across Southeast Asia to strengthen their capacities in promoting sustainable agricultural practices and community-driven development. The workshop aimed to deepen understanding of the vital role women played in food security, ecological stewardship, and rural livelihoods, while enhancing their leadership skills and regional solidarity.
โ
โThrough collaborative learning sessions and shared experiences, participants explored sustainable farming methods, community empowerment strategies, and solutions to pressing agricultural challenges in the region. Representing MASIPAG Mindanao, Minbel joined this meaningful initiative to help advance womenโs leadership and support the growing movement for resilient, sustainable, and life-affirming agricultural communities across Southeast Asia.
โ
โAs an agriculture student and a daughter of farmers who advocated for sustainable and organic farming, she sought to further deepen her knowledge and skills in sustainable agricultural practices.
For those students who once had double thoughts about taking agriculture, her journey stood as a living reminder that โAgriculture is not just agricultureโ it is a calling to nurture communities, protect the environment, and secure the future of food and life itself.
