PROJECT PROPOSAL
I. RATIONALE
Over the years there has been growing interest to strengthen and intensify local
food production specifically at the barangay level in order to mitigate the adverse effect
of food scarcity especially vegetables and address the high price of vegetables in the
market which was experienced especially during the Pandemic situation.
The Department of Agriculture and LGU Matanao has made various interventions
to empower its constituency by enticing them to produce their own food by means of
vegetable production in schools and homes through Gulayan sa Paaralan Program
(GPP) and Gulayan sa Barangay (GSB) that was formally implemented last 2010 in
order to alleviate food shortage, malnutrition and poverty.
With the objective of reviving the Gulayan sa Barangay and the home gardens
or Gulayan sa Balay as a strategy to enhance household food security and nutrition, the
Barangay Local Government of Unit of Buas (BLGU-Buas) has allotted PhP 60,000.00
for the procurement and distribution of assorted vegetable seedlings to its constituents
for the year 2022. Thus, this proposal.
II. OBJECTIVES
In general, the BLGU-Buas aims to revive and establish the Gulayan sa Barangay and
the home gardens (Gulayan sa Balay) to achieve food security and sustainability
amongst its less privileged constituents living in our barangay.
The Gulayan sa Barangay will be established at the BLGU-Buas area while the
Gulayan sa Balay shall be at the household level. Of Brgy. Buas, Matanao, Davao del
Sur.
