Mr. John Mark Ramada from the College of Agriculture and Agri-Industries was awarded the Best Pig Husbandry “Back Home Improvement Plan” (BHIP) by the Aeres Training Center International (ATCI), Barneveld, Netherlands on May 28, 2019. The award was given by Programma Uitzending Managers (PUM) Netherlands senior experts. PUM is a volunteer organization committed to the sustainable development of small and medium-size enterprises in developing countries and emerging markets. It has a network of about 150 representatives in around 30 countries around the world, connecting directly with entrepreneurs, business support organizations and local partners.
The BHIP was an assignment in which the trainee created an improvement plan based on situations from their home country. The program requires the student to write a proposal on how they are going to handle challenges of local pig farms they had visited prior to their training in the Netherlands. During the course of the training, the students developed realistic ideas on how to improve results to make it more applicable for the “back-home situation”. Trainees then presented their BHIP to a panel of experts. CMG/pico
