Under the banner of the "Magtanim Tayo" campaign, the Gen. Mariano Alvarez Youth In Action (GMAYIA) has been actively promoting urban gardening since November 2023. The initiative aims to encourage sustainable food production and support local communities by providing them with the necessary resources to grow their own vegetables.
As part of this campaign, GMAYIA has distributed 200 packs of various vegetable seeds to different groups across Metro San Jose. The seeds include a variety of nutritious crops such as pechay, mustard greens, chilli pepper, eggplant, and okra. These seeds were handed out to beneficiaries to encourage them to start their own vegetable gardens at home or within their communities.
In addition to the seeds, the organization also distributed agriculture-related pamphlets and brochures. These educational materials are intended to empower beneficiaries with knowledge on how to effectively grow and utilize these crops, further enhancing their food security and self-sufficiency.
Moreover, compost fertilizers were provided to the beneficiaries to ensure that their gardens thrive with the added benefit of sustainable, eco-friendly gardening practices.
The primary beneficiaries of this initiative include members of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) in Barangay Tiago and Barangay Gregoria, as well as parents of Grade six students of San Jose Elementary School and other residents of Metro San Jose. These groups received the seeds, brochures, and compost fertilizers as part of the ongoing effort to enhance community resilience and promote sustainable agriculture.
The success of the "Magtanim Tayo" campaign is made possible through collaboration with key partners, including Barangay Captain Rockvil Reginio, the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office, and the Municipal Agriculturist Office. Our collective efforts have significantly contributed to the widespread distribution of resources and the promotion of sustainable practices in Metro San Jose.
GMAYIA remains committed to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action), as we continue to foster a greener, healthier, and more self-sufficient community.
