The Department of Agriculture (DA) will maximize the use of renewable energy to sustain food production under its Urban Agriculture Project. In a statement on Monday, Agriculture Secretary William D. Dar said he has received 19 units of 30watt solar panels from Weather Philippines Foundation Inc. President Maribeth L. Marasigan, which will be used to power water systems for vegetable production. Mr. Dar said the solar panels will generate electricity to sustain the DA’s aquaponics and hydroponics technologies located in the gardens of the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) in Malate, Manila.
