Licenses, Patents and Deeds Division (LPDD) Chief Remedios Pauig said this in a radio interview enjoining the participation of the 51 Forest Lands Grazing Management Agreement (FLGMA) holders, and concerned government agencies and stakeholders in the region.

 

“The summit will seek to account not only the improvement of ecosystems through grazing management but also the amount of meat supply and other derivatives produced by grazing animals,” Engr. Pauig emphasized as she explained the objectives of the said stakeholders forum.

 

She said the forum will serve as an avenue to update policies and procedures on grazing management, raise and resolve related issues and concerns, and strengthen partnership between and among the DENR and the FLGMA holders.

 

“The comprehensive development plans of our FLGMA holders covering more or less 19,000 hectares of pasture areas regionwide will be monitored and evaluated,” the LPDD Chief added.

 

The event which will be graced by the Federation of Cattle Raiser Association of the Philippines will highlight presentation on the region's FLGMA situationer, livestock meat supply and demand or food requirement, cattle and forage production, domestic and international animal movement, dairy products technology transfer, practical livestock handling, best practices on grazing, and rancher's success story.

 

Chief Pauig also announced the awarding of land titles to qualified beneficiaries dubbed "Handog Titulo Program" this last week of September in celebration of Lands Day.#
