Some suggestions on how we can increase food production

"Food for every ones table and every homes"

We can increase food production through these simple suggestions:

1.  Urban gardening - plant food plants in empty plastic containers at your backyard, at your lanai or balcony or even rooftop even when you live in the city.

2.  The integrated farms -  You have food plants, livestock that produce meat, poultry and eggs.  The manure can provide methane that run generators or stoves.   You have fishponds to grow fish, take care of your effluents, and cool the farm, or have water for irrigation (rain fed irrigation)

3.  4 hectares in 1 hectare formula by Batanguenos

You have 1 hectare of land planted to :

     1 hectare of coconuts;

     1 hectare of coffee

     1 hectare of black pepper

     1 hectare of vegetables (string beans, okra, bitter gourd upo, etc.

Urban gardens is one of the answers to food security
