Five more barangays in the second district of Quezon City were provided urban agriculture starter kits to help strengthen food security in their communities and households.
The Agricultural Training Institute and Bureau of Animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture signed a memorandum of agreement with the Quezon City barangays, namely Holy Spirit, Batasan Hills, Bagong Silangan, Commonwealth, and Payatas for the establishment of integrated urban gardens.
“Integrated urban gardens also enable the consumption of various sources of vitamins and nutrients in meat products, not only vegetables,” Medrano said. After the turnover of starter kits and the MOA signing ceremony with the barangay chairpersons and representatives, a harvest activity at the ATIng Gulayan ng DA demonstration site in the ATI compound was also conducted.
