Inception.
The College of Agriculture was initially proposed by the late Executive Minister ERANO G. MANALO. The college was envisioned to combat hunger and poverty and ensure food security. - Initially, the proposed site for the college was the expansive INC Resettlement Area in Maligaya, Laur, Nueva Ecija. However, due to the area's remoteness and lack of viable irrigation caused by the destruction of the watershed, this plan did not fully materialize. In 2018, in response to the escalating poverty and hunger in the country, the current Executive Minister, Brother EDUARDO V. MANALO, continued to pursue the vision of establishing the College of Agriculture.

Preparations.
Preparations for the establishment of the College started with benchmarking. The colleges of agriculture of selected state universities and colleges were visited for a tour of their facilities and to seek advice and insights from their respective Deans Two potential sites for the College were considered: the 25-hectare Church Eco-Farm in Malainen Luma, Naic, Cavite, and the 50-hectare Church property in Bgy. Pinugay, Baras, Rizal The decision to build the College in Baras was due to the following reasons: proximity to the Church Central Office in Diliman, accessibility, and the rapidly developing communities adjacent to the Pinugay property, particularly the NHA Resettlement Projects, in Baras, Rizal.

Implementation.
