<p><strong>ILIGAN CITY</strong> – The Department of Agriculture (DA) 10 (Northern Mindanao) celebrates Filipino Food Month this April by showcasing innovations and technologies that promote food security and sustainable agriculture.</p>
<p>As part of the celebration, the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) 10’s information services staff will document the success stories of partner farmer-entrepreneurs using food technologies in the region. Many of these partners also operate Learning Sites for Agriculture.</p>
<p>“These inspiring stories will be compiled into a book for ATI’s 39th anniversary next year,” Vic Thor Palarca, ATI-10 senior media specialist, said Thursday.</p>
<p>DA-10 Executive Director Apollo Pacamalan reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to empowering local agri-entrepreneurs, improving market access, and ensuring that affordable and high-quality food products reach more communities.</p>
<p>“Marketing continues to be one of the greatest challenges for farmers. Activities like these encourage us to strengthen support for our producers and help bridge them to consumers,” he said.</p>
<p>In line with this, DA-10 is supporting farmers and fisherfolk organizations in marketing their produce during the ongoing “Kadiwa Diskwento Caravan” in Cagayan de Oro City, in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry.</p>
<p>The event supports Presidential Proclamation 469, series of 2018, which declares April as Filipino Food Month to celebrate the country’s rich culinary heritage. <strong><em>(PNA)</em></strong></p>
