No Such Thing as Barren Soils, Only Barren Minds
Dr. Davide couldn’t forget what a high-ranking agriculture official told him when he presented his FTSP proposal for possible support. He was told that his project was good but he should not undertake it in Cebu because Cebu has barren soil and that it is not suited for agriculture. The government official suggested that he carry it out in Bohol instead.
That suggestion only served as a big challenge to Dr. Davide. That’s precisely why he wanted to help the farmers in his province so they could improve the productivity of the poor soil through scientific methods. He has thought to himself that “there’s no such thing as barren soils, only barren minds.”
