As the government moves to boost the country’s food security, Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles is encouraging Filipinos to grow their own fruits and vegetables in their backyard.According to Nograles, urban gardening could promote not only local food security but also improve the nutrition of people especially those living in urban areas.
“Pag ang mga tahanan ay nagtatanim ng sariling gulay sa kanilang bakuran, assured tayo sa sustansyang pagkain para sa tahanang ‘yan ,” he said. Apart from growing vegetables in backyards, Nograles pushed for the revival of community gardens in the local community especially during the coronavirus pandemic.
