“This launching serves as our first step in reaching our goal. Today, we established our country’s first urban farming hydroponic research and training facility to overcome food shortages and heal hunger in the Philippines,” Agriculture Secretary William Dar said in his speech.
The project is a collaboration of the DA, the Philippine Association of Agriculturists Inc. (PAA), University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman Institute of Biology, and The Freshest.
The pandemic and the presence of variants of the new coronavirus has thrust a little-known agency into the limelight: the Philippine Genome Center (PGC).
The PGC has been tasked to do genomic sequencing, an essential job in the country’s fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, since last year when variants of concern reared their heads.
The center was formed after the Philippines hosted the Human Genome Organization Conference in the Asia Pacific in 2008, which prompted then University of the Philippines (UP) President Emerlinda Roman to establish a committee to look into the creation of a genome center under UP.
The Department of Science and Technology’s (DOST) Project Smarter Approaches to Reinvigorate Agriculture as an Industry in the Philippines or SARAi has been launched in Tuguegarao City.
