In rendering voluntarism and sharing of resources, the Misamis University College of Agriculture and Forestry (CAF) launched the Suburban Community Gardening with the theme of “Gulayan sa Barangay, Teamnabangay”, held on November 24, 2024, at the Covered Court of Brgy. Barra, Tudela, Misamis Occidental. There were eighty (80) participants, mostly represented by the women sector coming from different groups - 4Ps beneficiaries, BPATs, Women’s Organization, Senior Citizens, and members of the Barangay Council.
CAF signed a Memorandum of Agreement for their partnership with the Brgy. Barra, Tudela, Misamis Occidental. The main goal of the collaboration is to help the community respond to malnutrition. Different colleges of the university were called to join and assist in improving the health and well-being of the Barra residents. CAF, moreover, aimed to set up a sustainable community garden that is accessible to the whole barangay. This not only addresses the malnutrition dilemma, but can also help the community in boosting their local economy, and promotes camaraderie that can ensure the success of the program.
