In a statement, the DILG Regional Office 6 stated that the programs include the strategic “intensification and fostering of agricultural activities such as barangay community gardening, wherein households and communities are encouraged to produce fresh, healthy and affordable fruits and vegetables from their backyards and spaces through the establishment of community garden in barangay with vacant areas.
“HAPAG is a government initiative that enables different community sectors to connect with nature, nurture the earth, and open different economic opportunities. We aim that community gardens will promote sustainable gardening practices, ecological balance, and teach the young generation the importance of local food systems,” Ingeniero pointed out.
“In a two-hundred square meter land area, the community garden of Barangay Calumpang comprises various kinds of plants and vegetables such as leafy and cruciferous vegetables, fruit-bearing plants, legumes, herbal plants and root crops. The garden is enclosed with short bamboos with hanging colorful containers formed to a flower. Beside of some plants and vegetables are short quotes giving information on how it is known to the locals.
