Philippine inflation eased in August, but food prices remained a major source of pressure for households, underscoring the Department of Agriculture’s role in keeping supplies moving as weather disruptions threaten to create new bottlenecks.

Agriculture Secretary Francisco "Kiko" Tiu Laurel Jr. said the country has adequate food supplies for now, but warned that recent typhoons and enhanced southwest monsoon rains could push vegetable and fish prices higher in the coming weeks.

Ang kalusugan at kaligtasan ay nagsisimula rin sa malusog na lupa.

Ngayong buwan, isulong natin ang wastong pamamahala ng mga organic materials at paggamit ng organic fertilizer bilang bahagi ng responsableng pangangalaga sa ating mga sakahan.

Mga materyales tulad ng crop residues, compost, rice hulls, at iba pang organic materials ay maaaring maproseso at magamit bilang soil amendments o organic fertilizers.

Sa tamang pagproseso at wastong paggamit, nakatutulong ang mga ito sa pagdagdag ng organic matter at nutrients sa lupa.

Alagaan ang lupa. Gamitin ang resources nang wasto. Isulong ang ligtas at responsableng pagsasaka.

Healthy Soil. Safe Farming. Healthy Food.
