Our History
Pioneering Family Farm Education
Founding Vision
PPAFI Founder Mr. Fritz Gemperle was inspired by Spanish and French FFS systems. He established PPAFI to uplift rural communities through the Family Farm School (FFS) model.
Establishment of First FFS
PPAFI established the Dagatan Family Farm School (DFFS) in Lipa City (1986), followed by Balete Family Farm School. President Corazon C. Aquino visited DFFS in 1988.
Leadership & Transformation
In 2020, a new Board of Trustees, led by Mr. Leopoldo Titular and Mr. Rey Dela Cruz, initiated the transformation of the two FFS centers to adopt the Dual Training System (DTS) model.
Dual Agritech™ & IP Rights
The Dual Agritech™ Center For Excellence program was established in 2023 with Dual Tech Foundation Inc. In 2024, the exclusive trademark use of Dual Agritech™ was approved for PPAFI.
