According to a Department of Science and Technology (DOST) survey, 39% of Filipino families had rice waste, 11% had vegetable waste, and 8% had meat waste.

This National Food Conservation Month, every Filipino is encouraged to reduce the numbers and avoid food spoilage. With the efforts of the Department of Agriculture (DA), the government has been continuously launching projects and programs aligned with the administration’s goal of food sufficiency and security across the country.

Let us do our part in achieving this goal by practicing food conservation day by day.
