The future of PH agriculture looks bright with these young creators

To attain a food-secure future for the Philippines, the Agriculture department and farm advocates encourage youth to take up farming. 

The future of PH agriculture looks bright with these young creators
Reden Costales of ‘The Agrillennial’

Reden “Red” Costales, a young farmer from Majayjay, Laguna, understands the importance of this call.

“There is a forecast of food shortage by 2050. But as long as we work on educating the youth as early as now, we can look forward to a future where people are well-informed with how they can properly and sustainably allocate their food resources,” he said.

He started his YouTube channel The Agrillennial in 2019 in hopes of sparking interest in the youth about farming and encouraging more people to produce their own food.

His videos talk about the basics of farming, from tilling the soil to the latest agricultural techniques.  Less than two years after posting his first video, The

Agrillennial now has over a hundred videos and a community of 120,000 subscribers.

One of his most popular videos is him teaching how to make carbonized rice hull which can be used as soil conditioner and potting mix for budding or seasoned gardeners. It currently has more than 400,000 views.

The popularity of his videos shows Red that there is a growing interest in farming among millennials since the pandemic started. Life under lockdown, he said, opened the eyes of many to the benefit of growing their own food.

“Many young viewers would ask me questions about farming—from Manileños interested in urban gardening to OFWs who want to grow their lands in the province,” he shared.

Ruben “Ben” Baguio, 22-year-old from Nueva Vizcaya, through his channel Gayyem Ben shows his viewers the beauty and richness of life in the countryside while preserving traditional Filipino cultural practices. He takes his more than 241,000 subscribers on a journey with every video he produces.

One of his most viewed videos is a seed-to-table recipe of pinakbet where he shows the whole process of creating meals including land preparation, planting, and harvesting before cooking and serving.

Meanwhile, Princess Ann Marcos of Millennial Bukid Girl uses her YouTube channel to showcase farms and fisheries around the country, and shares agribusiness tips for those interested in pursuing a career or business in agriculture and fishing. She currently has over 4,500 subscribers.

Princess also actively utilizes her platform to collaborate with brands and partners to provide aid to local farmers and fishermen. Among her projects included providing fishermen with footwear and putting up a community pantry with produce sourced from local farmers.

For Red, Ben, and Princess, having access to platforms like YouTube helps them create an encouraging community for those in agriculture and inspire thousands of young Filipinos to have a heightened appreciation for local farming as a sustainable and rewarding lifestyle.
