Good Food Farms Promote Food Security and Sustainability in the Philippines
Operating at the intersection of food access and sustainability, Rise Against Hunger Philippines' Good Food Farms strengthen communities experiencing food insecurity.
Rise Against Hunger Philippines (RAHP) Good Food Farm Ususan is a 300 square meter urban farm in Taguig. RAHP established this urban farm at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 to improve access to nutritious food and increase food insecurity. The farm is managed entirely by women in the community. Through the food bank's partnership with Bayer and local government entities, the women receive sustainable agriculture education.
