DA-10 collaborates with RMFB-10 to strengthen food security among Bukidnon IP groups

 

In a bid to promote food security and sustainable agriculture, the Department of Agriculture – Regional Field Office 10 (DA-10) turned over assorted vegetable seeds to the Regional Mobile Force Battalion 10, 1004th Maneuver Company on June 19, at the agency compound.

Agriculturist II Sherafin Simon P. Calacar handed over 42 packets of Chinese cabbage, 3 cans of hot pepper and 1 can of sweet pepper seeds to Police Staff Sergeant Bryan Hope Hilado.

According to Hilado, the said initiative is aligned with the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC)’s efforts toward poverty reduction.

The vegetable seeds will be distributed to Indigenous Peoples groups in Talakag, Bukidnon, specifically to the Kalatungan Farmers United Rise Association and the Paganan Farmers’ Association. # (AMBM)
