The Department of Agriculture-High Value Crops Development Program (DA-HVCDP) has now extended its efforts to Quezon City, providing 50 high-quality, disease-free ginger seedlings to urban farmers across all six districts.
The seedlings were cultivated at the Nueva Vizcaya Experiment Research Station of DA-Regional Field Office II.
In her message, DA Undersecretary for High Value Crops, Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero, emphasized the vital role of urban agriculture in addressing food security and the rising costs of food in Metro Manila. ### (photos by Alan Jay Jacalan, DA-AFID)
