The Department of Agriculture has launched the Garden-to-Table Cooking Caravan at the Rizal Park’s Urban Garden on April 30 to encourage Filipinos to produce their own food especially in the urban areas and promote healthy eating habits.

The campaign, themed “Panalo and Nutrisyong Pilipino” aims to localize solutions for food insufficiency and nutrition deficiency and in adhering to every Filipino’s right to food. 

The initiative is a collaborative effort of the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI), the National Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture Program (NUPAP), and the High Value Crops Development Program (HVCDP)—as well as the National Parks Development Committee (NPDC) and Pilmico Foods Corporation.
