Agriculture Business Week

The Culinary Education Foundation (CEF), the social arm of the Cravings Group of Companies, takes a “greener” step by promoting that a zero-waste lifestyle is not only a way of life, but can also boost income and aid in the livelihood of people especially in times of economic crisis.

The CEF is currently conducting livelihood seminars that offer tips on recycling programs that promote unique and modern ways of starting one’s own business – using the greener approach.

The training programs, which began last August at the Kaingin Ecology Center in Barangay Pansol, Kaingin 1, runs every Saturday of the month from 9 a.m. to 12 noon until October 2009. All courses are scheduled at weekly intervals.
