The event is sponsored by Brunei’s Ministry of Agriculture in cooperation with AGROME IQ International, an agro-technology company in Brunei.

An agro-forestry scientist who got his doctorate from University of the Philippines-Los Banos (UPLB), Abalus said his talk will highlight the experience of Yamang Bukid Farm-Palawan as a farm tourism destination and a model of organic farming practices.
The government of Brunei will shoulder the speakers’ travel expenses.
