The United Nations has proclaimed 22 May the International Day for Biological Diversity to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues. The theme of the 2019 edition will be ‘Our Biodiversity, Our Food, Our Health’.
“How food is produced, what is consumed, and how much is lost or wasted all heavily shape the health of both people and planet”
– Food Planet Health by EAT-Lancet Commission 2019
We can focus on production (sustainable food production) and final consumption (healthy diets) to help protect our forest and agrobiodiversity. Locally produced, organic products support our local farmers and benefit our health and the environment. Hence the Philippines enacted RA 10068 An Act for the Development and Promotion of Organic Agriculture in the Philippines.
