+ February 03, 2021 ILOILO City Government continues to look for ways in improving its initiative on landscaping for food by planting vegetables initially.
The greening endeavor has been expanded into integrated farming basically not just communal gardening but it now infuses breeding of tilapias and native chickens.
Mayor Jerry Treñas Ediscape (Edible landscaping) program has been initiated in 12 pilot barangays through the City Population Office and Barangay Service Point Officers late last year. We already have 32 barangays willing to join. We will try to look at other technologies that can fit in an urban setting so we can maximize agriculture s economic potentials, said Acting City Agriculturist Iñigo Garingalao.
