DILG Memorandum Circular 2023-001 | In support to the thrust of the current Administration and cognizant of the role of barangays as essential partners of the national government in contributing to addressing hunger, and ensuring food security in the country, the DILG is introducing the Halina't Magtanim ng Prutas at Gulay sa Barangay Project.
This project aims to strengthen the capacities of barangays towards sustainable agricultural initiatives. One of which is the intensification and fostering of agricultural activities such as barangay community gardening, wherein households and communities will be encouraged to produce fresh, healthy and affordable fruits and vegetables from their backyards and spaces, through the establishment of community gardes in barangays with vacant areas.
