The bill would turn the Agricultural Training Institute into a new national agency (PAFEA) that sets policy for farm‑ and fishery‑extension services, moves all municipal extension staff to the provincial government, and funds their salaries with a PHP 5 billion national grant. It also creates a council (CERDAF) to guide research‑extension policy and requires provinces to prepare five‑year agriculture‑fisheries plans.
