DA, Aboitiz team up for RE use in food production
Excerpt
The Department of Agriculture and the Aboitiz Group will optimize the use of renewable energy in pushing for urban farming in a bid to boost food production in the country. Aboitiz-led Weather Philippines Foundation Inc. has turned over 19 units of 30-watts solar panels to the DA to provide power to the water systems for vegetable production. This is part of the government’s urban agriculture program, encouraging urban dwellers to pursue aquaponics, a technique where fish and vegetables grow in an integrated system.
