“We celebrate those who have transformed limited spaces into thriving gardens, those who have enhanced their surroundings while deepening our understanding of food sustainability. You have overcome the challenges of constrained space and resources, reignited a sense of responsibility for our land, and inspired us all to reconsider our relationship with the food we eat and the environment we live in,” Agriculture Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel, Jr. said in a statement read by DA-BPI and DA-NUPAP Director Gerald Glenn Panganiban.
The 2024 National Search for the Best Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture Garden aims to honor the champions of community-based gardening, celebrate their innovation, sustainability, and dedication, and strengthen the stakeholders’ partnership with the DA to produce safe and quality produce in metropolitan areas.
