Abstract
This PowerPoint presentation provides an overview of the development of school gardens in the Philippines into an important part of the newly designated National Greening Program which extends until 2028. The program supports food security in schools and communities through promoting, designing and implementing self-help food production activities and values among learners, with appreciation of agriculture as a life support system in the wider community. The slides show how a Bio-Intensive Garden (BIG) functions, with illustrated features such as agrobiodiversity, year round growing, nutritional diversity and local vegetable production.
