Many religions around the world view life as sacred. This is why people who follow these religions engage in activities that help preserve life such as feeding and livelihood programs.

Ezekiel Nieto, a pastor, started such activities in low-income communities. Four years ago, he and his partner, Jalyn Malto, began a ministry in an informal settler settlement where they fed and tutored the children of the community.

“We started vegetable farming in Taal but when the Taal Volcano erupted, we had to think of a crop that is sheltered by a house, like mushrooms,” Nieto said.Other aspects that helped Nieto decide on growing mushrooms on their farm instead is because it doesn’t require any specific season to grow and it doesn’t get severely affected by natural disasters provided that it’s kept in a sturdy and secure location.

“In Zoe Eco Farm, we are giving people work and sharing with them the technology on how to do mushroom farming,” the pastor said. Several studies on mushrooms show that they have anti-inflammatory properties that can be effective against skin problems such as pimples and eczema. And since Filipinos are fond of whitening products, which often cause their skin to peel because of its chemical composition, Nieto wanted to provide an alternative that focuses on improving skin health.
