Bio products with spirituality of agriculture in FIN and FIS agro-training development

DAVAO CITY: 30th January 2007 -- . On 26th January 2007, a store called Bios-Dynamis, was blessed in Davao City, Philippines. It is strategically located, right beside the main shopping mall, ShoeMart, and close to the central bus station.
    The store was set up by the Don Bosco Foundation for Sustainable Development, formerly known as the Don Bosco Diocesan Youth Center, based in Kidapawan, North Cotabato. It is meant to bring to Davao and its surrounding areas the healthy agricultural products of more than 4,500 so-called "Don Bosco" farmers. These farmers have adopted the biodynamic method of agriculture, actually a way of life, that respects and protects nature, and brings in the Creator into day-to-day farming. These farmers have rediscovered the spirituality of agriculture, and can rightly be considered empowered farmers.
    Don Bosco Kidapawan was set up more than a decade ago by two dedicated youth ministers, working for the Diocese of Kidapawan. Having read the booklet, Great Dreams Come True, they named the center after the Father and Teacher of Youth. They themselves have experienced how their many dreams continue to come true each day.
    Don Bosco Kidapawan has been giving training in biodynamic agriculture and sustainable development to the Salesians and lay mission partners of both FIN and FIS provinces. Their inputs and exposure programs have contributed much to the agro-training centers of both provinces.
