I’ve previously posted a photo montage of my October 2009 visit with Gil Carandang of Herbana Farms at the Makati Farmer’s Market and a tour of his teaching farm. On our return visit to the Philippines in February 2010, I again met with Gil and captured an interview of him on video, talking about his methods, background, and the philosophy that drives his passion of organic farming.
I hope that you find Gil’s interview informative, enjoyable, and entertaining. You can help share the wit and wisdom of Gil Carandang with farmers, gardeners, and people all around the world by supporting The Global Resource Initiative.
