The Paranaque City government launched an edible landscaping program called “Mag Edible Landscaping Tayo” to promote better nutrition and appreciation of organic farming.
Mayor Edwin Olivarez who initiated the project Food Always in the Home (FAITH) and Dr. Glen B. Gergosio, director of South East Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) led the launch at the city nursery garden in Barangay San Isidro.
Olivarez said Gregorio shared SEARCA’s efforts on edible landscaping and urban gardening in the country during the past decades.
SEARCA was able to implement the School plus Home Gardens Project (S+HGP) in more than five schools in the province of Laguna.
