The Central Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA) conducted a Learning Session on โMaking Ideas Real: Lessons from a Visiting Foreign Expertโ on January 27, 2026, to inspire Agribusiness students to turn their ideas into practical and workable business concepts.
The session was led by the Office of the Vice President for Business and External Affairs through the Resource Generation Office, headed by Director Immaculate Falabi. It aimed to equip students with real-world perspectives on entrepreneurship, particularly in agriculture and small enterprise development.
Participants included Agribusiness students under the guidance of Mr. Emilio Ibarbia, Program Chairperson of the Agribusiness Program, as well as Resource Generation Office coordinators from the Pasacao, Calabanga, and Sipocot campuses.
The resource speaker, Mr. Jaroslav Hajn of the Czech Republic, is a co-owner of Inflore, a garden center and winery in his home country. Drawing from his personal journey as an entrepreneur, Mr. Hajn shared practical lessons on starting a small business or farm in real life, refining studentsโ business ideas, understanding why farming has a strong future, and using social media as a powerful tool for small businesses.
Through open discussions and real-life examples from his own experience, Mr. Hajn encouraged students to reflect on their reasons for starting a business, pursue work they truly love, and see agriculture as a promising and sustainable career path.
This learning session supports the Universityโs commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), by empowering students with entrepreneurial skills and global perspectives, and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) through the promotion of sustainable and innovative agricultural practices. | ๐๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐๐ณ. ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ณ๐บ ๐๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ ๐. ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ข๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด, ๐๐ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐น๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ช๐ณ๐ด
