The war with Iran versus the United States and Israel has created an unprecedented crisis more severe than during the Covid-19 pandemic. With the skyrocketing prices in fuel and fertilizer, and with the crisis uncontrolled, food-security is at stake and unimaginable poverty and malnutrition will surely occur. This project will provide much-needed farm inputs like seeds and fertilizer and technical support to poor farmers so that they are able to withstand the crisis.
The current crisis in the Middle East although very far away is affecting in the most negative way farming families in the Philippines. Transport cost is sky-high, farm inputs is very expensive which results to low production, hunger and malnutrition. There is a need to support poor, marginal farmers so that they are able to prevent hunger and malnutrition.
We will provide much-needed seeds of high-valued vegetables, root crops and bananas so that farmers can grow their own food in an abundant manner. We will also provide organic fertilizer and teach them how to formulate their own. In this way, they are able to feed their own families and not rely on outside sources which may be disrupted because of the crisis.
The potential long-term impact of the project is the prevention of hunger and malnutrition and ensuring food-secure local communities despite the crisis in the Middle East. Healthy communities means that villagers are able to grow healthy and well and contribute to their own well-being.
