GO FOR A BETTER HARVEST

There’s a process in gardening that people use organic

fertilizer which is good for plants and this is called bio-intensive
gardening (BIG). What are the importance of BIG?
In doing BIG, people need to prepare the organic fertilizer
which are biodegradable like: kitchen waste; animal’s poop; and
vegetable, and fruit peelings which are good for plants.
Sustainable BIG system, which emphasizes biodiversity
conservation; recycling of nutrients; synergy among crops, animals,
soils, and other biological components; and regeneration and
conversation of resources is a type of agro-ecological approach. The bio
intensive method provides many benefits as compared with conventional
farming and gardening methods, and is an expensive, easily
implemented sustainable production method that can be used by people
who lack the resources (or desire) to implement commercial chemical
and fossil-fuel-based forms of agriculture.
The Department of Social Welfare and Development
(DSWD) urged families to utilize BIG, a technique that could help
eliminate hunger among poor Filipino households. BIG may seem like a
simple project, but it goes a long way towards eliminating hunger and
food insecurity among our beneficiaries. It’s a very good effort towards
reducing impact of poverty on families, the DSWD chief also said.
DSWD Judy Taguiwalo said all beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang
Pilipino Program (4P’s) and other DSWD programs should be
encouraged to raise their own vegetables in their backyard.
This process is not only beneficial for plants, it’s also for
humans. If people use in-organic fertilizer it is possible that people can
be poisoned but if we use organic fertilizer then everybody can be
healthy.
