Isinagawa ngayong Setyembre 16, 2026 ang unang Harvest Festival ng National Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture Program (NUPAP) sa Barangay Ilomavis, Kidapawan City, bilang pagdiriwang sa bunga ng sama-samang pagsisikap ng mga kalahok na komunidad.

Tampok sa aktibidad ang pagbabahagi ng mga karanasan ng mga paaralan at farmers’ associations na lumahok sa programa, gayundin ang pagkilala sa kanilang mga inisyatiba sa pamamagitan ng Search for Best Urban and Peri-Urban Garden.

Sa pamamagitan ng NUPAP, nabibigyan ng suporta at oportunidad ang mga paaralan, farmers’ associations, at mga komunidad na mapaunlad ang kanilang mga hardin, mapalakas ang produksyon ng pagkain, at maisulong ang napapanatiling urban at peri-urban agriculture.

Patuloy ang pagtutulungan tungo sa mas matatag na komunidad at mas pinalakas na seguridad sa pagkain.

𝗡𝗨𝗣𝗔𝗣 𝗫𝗜𝗜 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗻, 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶-𝘂𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀

The Department of Agriculture (DA) XII has introduced beekeeping technology to school and community garden beneficiaries and local government units (LGUs) as an additional livelihood and enterprise opportunity in urban and peri-urban areas.

The initiative was carried out through a two-day Training on Urban Beekeeping conducted on September 14–15, 2026 in General Santos City under the National Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture Program (NUPAP).

A total of 21 participants consist of school-based garden beneficiaries, community garden beneficiaries, and LGU representatives participated in the training, which aimed to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to establish and manage beekeeping activities in their respective areas.

Participants were trained on basic beekeeping practices, including bee colony management, hive maintenance, proper handling of bees, and other techniques essential to starting and sustaining beekeeping operations.

The training also covered product development using honey and other bee-derived products, allowing participants to explore value-adding opportunities and potential income-generating activities from beekeeping.

To help participants apply the knowledge and skills gained during the training, the DA XII provided starter kit packages that will serve as initial resources for establishing beekeeping activities in their respective schools, communities, and localities.

The provision of the said intervention complements the technical training and is expected to encourage beneficiaries to adopt and promote beekeeping technology in their areas.

Beyond honey production, beekeeping supports agricultural productivity through pollination, which is essential to the production of various fruits, vegetables, and other crops. Its integration into school and community gardens can provide both livelihood opportunities and environmental benefits.

The activity forms part of DA XII’s continuing efforts under NUPAP to promote innovative, appropriate, and sustainable agricultural technologies suited to urban and peri-urban settings.

Through training and technology support, DA-XII continues to empower communities, schools, and LGUs to develop productive urban agriculture initiatives that contribute to food security, livelihood generation, and sustainable community development. # # #
