UPLB Organic Agriculture Research, Development and Extension Center

UPLB Organic Agriculture Research, Development and Extension Center "Bridging Science, People and Nature" The construction of the OARDEC building was funded by the DA-Bureau of Agricultural Research.

The enactment of the Republic Act 10068 (Organic Act of 2010) heightened the interest of researchers and development workers to engage in research, development and extension (RDE) programs on organic agriculture. The seven-hectare OARDEC, which is being managed by the Agricultural Systems Institute (ASI) of the College of Agriculture and Food Science (CAFS), was inaugurated in 2019 to serve as the

venue for research, development and extension in organic agriculture. The Center showcases different OA modules such as organic soil amendments; organic crop production; medicinal garden (which is being managed by UP Manila); and livestock production area, among others. OARDEC also houses the research and development projects of ASI, as well as undergraduate studentsโ€™ researches.
