Agriculture is both an art and a science, providing sustenance for a global population that continues to rise. While traditional methods continue to be employed by local farmers, science and technology can be harnessed to increase farm yields by making crops more resilient and abundant. Scientific research can also help make agri-industry practices more sustainable, to help feed more communities.
Both driven for scientific advancement, Bayer Philippines, Inc. and the Philippine Science High School (PSHS) are collaborating on a program to spark interest in the field of agricultural science among the youth. Bayer, a global leader in the field of pharmaceuticals and life sciences, and the PSHS, a premier educational institution renowned for its commitment to scientific excellence, recently renewed its partnership for the school's Science Immersion Program (SIP).
This was after the assessment of the initial MOA signed in 2022 that proved to be a resounding success and prompted the decision to extend the partnership for an additional five years (2023-2027).
The PSHS System developed the SIP to motivate high school scholars, specifically those in their senior years, to pursue a career in science and technology by collaborating with different public and private research institutions.
Through the partnership with Bayer Philippines, the SIP will be an avenue for the students to apply classroom lessons into actual research projects and interact with scientists in Bayer laboratories.
