FARMERS' DAUGHTER DEVELOPS A FARM RESORT THAT EARNS PROFIT AND PRESERVES THE ENVIRONMENT
Agriculture
|November - December 2021
PEOPLE sometimes have the false notion that farmers would not wish for their children to follow in their footsteps, or that the youth have no interest in farming like their ancestors.
Such a thought has never been more wrong. Despite how challenging farming can get, there are always those from younger generations who want to pursue a career where they can grow their own food.
An example of this is Shezil Balili, 33, who grew up in the Zamboanga Peninsula with her farmer parents.
We were trained to plant, grow, and harvest crops with our workers in the plantations, Balili said.
These fond memories encouraged Balili, who managed a real estate brokerage firm, to leave the corporate world, go back to her roots, and engage in farming once again.
“One day I made a decision to live a simpler life so I was thinking how can I incorporate my real estate sales and marketing experience into farming, living a laid back yet comfortable life. I was 29 years old back then, after a year I launched and operated my plans, she said.
In 2017, her plans became more concrete as she established Balili Farm in El Nido, Palawan.

URBAN GARDENER GROWS FOOD IN PLASTIC DRUMS AMID THE QUARANTINE FOR THEIR FAMILY'S FOOD SECURITY
IN QUEZON CITY, Daisy Cu, 46, began growing vegetables in their residence as an attempt at food security and self-sufficiency. Cu has been tending ornamental plants and fruit-bearing trees for years now. Her free time during the quarantine allowed her not only to focus on cultivating her existing plants, but also to produce vegetables at home using plastic drums. Cu's goal to provide food for their family is what urged her to establish a decorative, yet an edible garden incorporating ornamental and food crops. "With the use of the blue drums, I was able to achieve my intention of creating an edible but decorative garden plus I was able to repurpose the drums as well,” Cu explained.
