MANILA – Farmers and food security advocates appealed to presidential candidates to prioritize developing domestic agriculture and ensure the country’s food self-sufficiency and food security.
“Claims that the agriculture sector growth significantly increased in the past five years are simply untrue. In fact, the local agriculture and farmers became even more vulnerable to extreme climate events of recent years,” said Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas.
