SOUTH KOREA has assisted in the construction of smart greenhouses in Iloilo, in what is being pitched as a climate-change mitigation measure, the Department of Agriculture said. READ:
The DA and the Korea Agency of Education, Promotion and Information Service in Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries constructed 10 such greenhouses, which will be used to boost mushroom and tomato production and that of other high-value crops.
“Changing weather patterns resulting in unusually warmer temperatures or heavy rainfall have caused an imbalance in the production of agricultural commodities,” the DA said in a statement. Agriculture Secretary William D. Dar said that EPIS will continue to collaborate with the DA in future agricultural development and food productivity initiatives.
“We have to have enough food, and I believe that this smart farming system is the best solution. Smart greenhouses are forward-looking, and will surely elevate the food production here in our country,” he added.
