UMARANGKADA na ang programang urban agriculture ng Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP) at Department of Agriculture (DA) – Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) para sa mga maralitang tagalungsod mula sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng Kamaynilaan na lubhang apektado ng pandemyang Covid-19.
Sa nilagdaang Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) nina PCUP Chairman at CEO, Undersecretary Alvin Feliciano at DA-BPI Director George Culaste, nagkasundo ang dalawang ahensiya na bumuo ng isang kolaborasyon para magsulong ng mga programang tutugon sa kahirapan at kagutuman na nararanasan ngayon ng mga mahihirap na sektor.
Ayon kay Feliciano, “dahil sa pandemya ay mas lumobo ang bilang ng mga kababayan nating nagugutom at nakararanas ng kakulangan sa pagkain kaya naman, nais ng PCUP at ng BPI na maging instrumento ang programang urban agriculture para maibsan kahit papaano ang kinakaharap na krisis sa pagkain ng mga maralitang Filipino.”
“Hindi po namin hahayaan na maging hadlang ang pandemya upang ang aming ahensiya ay makapagserbisyo sa mga nangangailangan dahil mas malawak na hanay pa ng maralita ang nais naming makinabang sa programang ito. Hindi dahilan ang limitadong espasyo ng lupa sa mga urban areas dahil sa pamamagitan ng urban gardening ay puwedeng makapagtanim ng sari-saring mga gulay at halaman na bukod sa pagkain ay maaari ring pagkakitaan,” dagdag pa ni Feliciano.
Base sa datos ng Komisyon at ng BPI, may 13 lugar na ang maituturing na established urban garden sites na sumailalim sa site inspection ng dalawang ahensiya na nabahagian na rin ng mga libreng garden tools, assorted vegetable seeds, fertilizer, soil/soil mix, vermicompost, plastic drum, vertical hanging pots, mushroom fruiting bags, wall mounted vertical harden structure, at A-frame hydroponics. Nakapagset-up na rin ang mga ito ng mga nursery seedling shed bilang paunang hakbang sa urban agriculture. Kabilang sa mga site na ito ay sa lungsod ng Caloocan, Makati, Malabon, Maynila, Parañaque, Pasay, at munisipalidad ng Pateros.
Samantala, pangungunahan ni Feliciano ang pag-iikot sa mga lungsod sa NCR upang magsagawa ng site inspection sa iba pang mga urban areas na may potensiyal na pagtaniman ng iba’t ibang klase ng gulay at prutas na magmumula sa BPI.
Bukod sa mga lugar sa bahaging NCR, plano rin ng PCUP na mas palawakin pa ang sakop ng mga magiging benepisyaryo ng programa hanggang sa Luzon, Visayas, at Mindanao kaya’t patuloy itong makikipag-ugnayan sa BPI para sa posibleng pagsasakatuparan nito. BENEDICT ABAYGAR, JR.
