Philippines
Programme Summary
The Philippines program has grown significantly in the past few months via the provision of seeds, intensive agro forestry training, livestock management and the diversification of livestock to counter the need to purchase damaging and expensive chemical pesticides. The Philippine Government has unveiled a stimulus package which focuses on agriculture and aims to relocate the urban poor to mountains and hillsides where they will hopefully create a sustainable life for themselves and their families. The Government has assisted partnering organisations with land grants which are contingent upon the reforesting of the land which they have been allotted.
