Sometimes the key to food security is just right around the corner, especially for urban dwellers. And the Department of Agriculture believes so. The DA is now looking at home gardening as a key alternative to achieve food security, especially with the many benefits of urban gardening.
“This is consistent with the goal of the Department of Agriculture to ensure sufficient, nutritious and affordable food to urban-poor families,” Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel F. Piñol said in DA Memorandum Order 18. “We will also introduce aquaponics and hydroponics to our urban residents. In hydroponics you will not anymore need land for cultivation, it will only require water,” the official said.
This is something that many corporations and institutions look forward to being adopted in the Philippines. Villar, chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Food, said urban gardening could help augment food supply in cities, particularly when farms in rural areas are hit by natural disasters.
