Farmers exchange planting materials at a seeds distribution in Dolores, Eastern Samar. A group of farmers from the islands of Cebu, Bohol and Negros – strong movers of sustainable and ecological agriculture – came together in the spirit of ‘Balaynihan’ (communal work) to aid fellow farmers by collecting ecologically farmed rice seeds, root crops, vegetable seeds and organic fertilizers . The seeds were presented to 125 of the most affected farmers by typhoon Hagupit in Dolores.
