ISU Cauayan ruled the 2025 Regional Kabataang Organic Agriculture Quiz Bee, securing the top six spots in a competition that tested the regionโs best agriculture students at Robinsons Mall, Tuguegarao City, October 23.

The Agricultural Training InstituteโRegional Training Center (ATI-RTC) organized the event in line with the nationwide celebration of Organic Agriculture (OA) Month this November, pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 1030. The quiz bee aimed to raise awareness of organic agriculture, promote sustainable farming, and engage students in advancing environmentally sound food systems.

His leadership shaped the studentsโ preparation and fortified their mastery of topics such as the Organic Agriculture Act, OA standards, organic crop and livestock production, and current trends in sustainable practices.
Fifty-seven student participants from various campuses of the Cagayan State University (CSU), Quirino State University (QSU), Nueva Vizcaya State University (NVSU), and Isabela State University (ISU) systems competed in the event.
ISU Cauayanโs victory strengthened the campusโ resolve to advance organic agriculture and motivate young farmers to pursue innovation and environmental stewardship. Ms. Galleta will represent the Cagayan Valley Region in the National Kabataang Organic Agriculture Quiz Bee
