Agri NorMin collabs with CdeO-based coop for Hydroponics initiatives

 

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — In a bid to promote sustainable agriculture and empowering communities, the Department of Agriculture – Regional Field Office 10 (DA-RFO 10) collaborates with the FICCO Community Outreach Foundation, Inc. (FCOF) for a Hydroponics training on January 22, in Carmen, this city.

Facilitated by the department’s National Urban and Peri-urban Agriculture Program (NUPAP) through Alternate Focal Person Ronald Allan P. Camaddo, around 20 personnel from FCOF participated in the session, which covered the various benefits and techniques of hydroponics.

The training aimed to equip the participants with the knowledge to utilize vacant spaces at the FICCO Admin Building into productive areas for growing vegetables and other crops using hydroponic methods.

Additionally, participants were each given a packet of 4-in-1 garden salad seeds to kickstart their gardening initiatives.

The collaboration between DA-RFO 10 and FCOF is aligned with the department’s efforts of strengthening urban gardening initiatives to boost food security and sufficiency. # (AMBM, Photos supplied)
