CLSU MUSHROOM PROJECT in the DOST news

Mushroom is already known to have many health benefits. No surprise that mushroom farmers are growing especially in Nueva Ecija. The Central Luzon State University (CLSU) is taking the lead to bring this commodity to the fore.

Dapat LIGTAS-DRRM Project

Promptly addressing the need to capacitate household members, specifically mothers on Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM), the University Gender and Development Office (UGADO) funded a research-project and community outreach program dubbed as “Dapat LIGTAS (Ligtas, Ingat, at Gayak ang may Talino sa Banta ng Sakuna)” which is a DRRM information dissemination drive thru mothers in selected barangays of the Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija.
