"LANDBANK is paving the way for the scaling up of environmentally friendly technologies that reduce the negative impacts of livestock waste on water, air, human health and the climate in general, not just across the Philippines, but throughout the region," he added.
"We are pleased to work with the WB on this project because we are hitting two goals at the same time: providing financial support to farmers in the countryside which is our core mandate - while contributing to efforts at mitigating climate change," said LANDBANK President at Chief Executive Officer Gilda E.
