Food Security update on the Philippines
It is more fun criticizing
Food security in the Philippines
We think the govt is strict about food security. We are a developer and they are very slow on acting
on land conversion.
More can be done regarding food security:
1. Supply and demand projection, and planting and production schedules
2. Tariff protection
3. Improvement of infrastructures: and inputs:
1. fertilizer and seeds
2. Fingerlings, piglets, and cattle
3. Strengthening what exists and making them work
4. Cold storage
5. Solar pumps
6 Post harvest facilities
7. Supply chain
8. MBA in Agri courses
4. Scientific farming:
1. Greenhouses, with irrigation
2. High value added crops
3. Hydrophonics and drip
5, Corporate farming
It is good that some big companies like MVP group are paying attention to food security. However their is with high value coco products: MCTs and buko juice.
Finally Jollibee Food Corporation chicken plant made profit
The CP farms of Thailand have been doing good in the Philippines
6. Adoption of new technologyies
Substitute for rice

Attaining Food Security - the problem is not barren land but barren minds

Barren minds, not barren land
In the talkback program of ANC with Tina Monzon Palma, the guest from Mr GayoMFI talks about the problem in attaining food security is not the barren land, but barren minds of farmers. With only 5 years of schooling on the average, they are less likely to improve on their methods and adopt modern farm technologies. The resources are available: credit, seeds, fertilizer, irrigation. Yet our farm production, productivity has remained the same. Compare that with Israel that has barren land, sand/desert and yet grow plenty of vegetables which they export
Or even Batangas farmers who are rich because they plant 4 hectares of produce on 1 hectare of land?
