Navoteños will now have additional source of fresh and organic produce following the inauguration of the city's greenhouse facility.
Mayor John Rey Tiangco, together with Department of the Interior and Local Government Undersecretary Marlo Iringan and National Capital Region Assistant Regional Director Ana Lyn Baltazar-Cortez, led the blessing and inauguration of the greenhouse at NavotaAs Homes I – Brgy. Tanza 2.
"Food security has long been a pressing concern, but it was during the pandemic that we experienced firsthand how important it is to have sufficient and sustainable food sources. Hence, we sought to strengthen our urban agricultural initiatives," Tiangco said.
"In addition to our vertical farm at the NavotaAs Homes II, our greenhouse facility will bolster our capability to provide fresh produce locally and mitigate reliance on external sources. By empowering Navoteños to grow their own food, we fortify our resilience against food crises," he added.
