CHED MEMORANDUM ORDER No. _46 Series of 2016 SUBJECT : DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL AND. FISHERIES EXTENSION PROGRAMS IN NATIONAL UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES IN AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES (NUCAFs) AND PROVINCIAL INSTITUTES OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES (PIAFs) 1. RATIONALE ‘The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in coordination with the Department of Agriculture (DA) and other government agencies was mandated to establish a National Agriculture and Fisheries Education System (NAFES) by virtue of Section 66 of Republic Act (RA) No. 8435 otherwise known as the ‘Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act (AFMA) of 1997." NAFES aims to establish, maintain and support a complete and integrated system of agriculture and fisheries education (AFE), modernize and rationalize agriculture and fisheries ‘education from elementary to tertiary levels, unify the system of implementation of academic Programs and upgrade the quality and ensure sustainability and promote the global ‘competitiveness at al levels of AFE. To address these objectives, the National Universities and Colleges of Agriculture and Fisheries (NUCAFs) and Provincial Institutes of Agriculture and Fisheries (PIAFs) were identified. The selection of the NUCAFs and PIAFs were based on the following criteria namely, institutional accessibility, population, economic contribution of agriculture and fisheries in the community, quantity and quality of research studies conducted, degree of utilization of research results, quantity and quality of faculty members, type of facilities, linkages and potential contribution to agriculture and fisheries development in the target area. By virtue of CHED Memorandum Order No. 18 and 32 Series of 2009 and CHED Memorandum Order No. 25, Series of 2010, the following 31 National Universities and Colleges of Agriculture and Fisheries (NUCAFs) and 84 Provincial Institutes of Agriculture and Fisheries (PIAFs) were identified’ In light of the increasing Philippine population, improved food production and security is of utmost concem. However, the productivity of the country’s agricultural and fisheries sectors largely depend on the quality of knowledge, positive attitudes, relevant skills, and deepened engagement in agriculture and fisheries across all demographics, beginning from early childhood through adulthood, and across the whole socio-economic spectrum.

Cutivating a critical mass of Filipinos with a deepened appreciation for agriculture and fisheries will in tum a) ramp up innovations in agricultural and fisheries education and extension, b) positively influence the development potential of farming and fishing communities, c) deepen the consumer consciousness about the role of farmers and fishermen in the food value chain, d) inorease the competitive edge of the country's agricultural products, e) stimulate career, professional and entrepreneurial/business interests in agrifisheries, and f) develop a sustainable agricultural and fisheries ecosystem. Hence, it is important that the agriculture and fisheries education, training and extension be of highest quality. ‘The Commission has allotted additional funds under the Higher Education Development Fund (HEDF) to further strengthen the RDE programs(projects of NAFES institutions aimed at improving the country’s food production, achieving food security, optimizing the benefits of the blue economy, and fostering inclusive growth and sustainable development. A total of One Hundred Twenty-Five Million (Php125 M) is allocated as grants-in-aid for NUCAFS and PIAFs to purposely fund extension projects that are distinctly higher education-related and distinguished from current grants provided by other government and private funding agencies (DOST, DOH, DA, etc.) and can address the abovementioned concerns and purposively meet the end goal of optimum agricultural productivity, I, ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS 1.
