We NEED Actions that that will ensure public safety, empowerment of small farming & fishing communities and achieve agricultural biodiversity conservation. This can be done by shifting the country’s food production to 100% organic agriculture with full support to small farmers and fisher folks especially those within marine and farming protected areas. This will demand shifting away from conventional chemical agriculture, and rejection of genetically engineered crops or GMOs. This will also mean shifting increasingly to a plant-based diet away from animal-farming. It will also require that government subsidizes farmers who contributes in this shift to organic food production and fisher folks who will maintain marine protected areas and will ensure that agriculture prioritizes food security for Filipino above the global market. These actions should lead to national and local food self sufficiency. A full shift to organic agriculture will ensure the highest food safety and nutrition. |
