Both DA-BPI-AED and DA-NUPAP representatives helped out in harvesting Kang Kong and Petchay that were planted at the BPI Greenhouse located at SEB Kamayan Lagoon. They also use this time to give seeds to the SEB Office to further support their agricultural farming.

Ultimately, the Army Green Camp Project, bolstered by DA-BPI’s support, cultivates more than just vegetables; it sows the seeds for a resilient, sustainable, and food-secure future, fostering a stronger partnership between the military and government agencies in service to the wider community.
