Growing Gardens, Growing Communities!
The Bureau of Plant Industry โ€“ Baguio National Crop Research, Development and Production Support Center (BPI-BNCRDPSC), through the National Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture Program (NUPAP), conducted an assessment of four (4) prospective community garden beneficiaries in San Carlos City, Pangasinan for FY 2027, in coordination with the City Agriculture Office of San Carlos City.
The assessment covered the proposed community garden sites of the Rural Improvement Clubs (RICs) of Calobaoan, Supo, Tamayo, and Aponit, focusing on their site conditions, readiness, available resources, and potential for sustainable community gardening. More than just assessing garden sites, the activity strengthens the partnership between BPI-BNCRDPSC, the local government, and community organizations in advancing sustainable urban and peri-urban agriculture.
Through these collaborative efforts, NUPAP continues to support communities in creating productive gardens that can contribute to food security, environmental sustainability, and community resilience. Together, we are not only planting vegetablesโ€”we are growing healthier, greener, and more self-reliant communities.
