MPSU-Ba-ang โ€” The University recently conducted a training to equip agriculturists and local farmers with essential knowledge and skills on wild tea propagation and processing. This initiative is part of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST)-funded project titled "Production and Biodiversity Conservation of Wild Tea Plants in Mountain Province." led by Dr. Lichelyn Nasungan
The training featured lectures and hands-on workshops by MPSU experts. Dr. Julie Garsi lectured on the morphological characteristics of a specific wild tea species, Dr. Alexander T. Baldic delivered a lecture on the propagation of wild tea, followed by a practical workshop facilitated by Dr. Lichelyn M. Nasungan. On the processing side, Mr. Rolando M. Tawanna, Jr. presented a lecture on wild tea processing, with Dr. Epiphania B. Magwilang and Dr. Joyce D. Cuyangoan conducting a workshop to provide practical skills.
University President Dr. Edgar G. Cue also graced the said event. Dr. Cue emphasized that the initiative underscores a shared commitment to sustainable development that respects both people and the environment, highlighting wild tea as a vital symbol of Mountain Provinceโ€™s biodiversity and indigenous heritage.
Through this program, MPSU aims to empower agriculturists and farmers and promote sustainable agricultural practices that support both production and biodiversity conservation in the province. #
