Resumen This Memorandum Circular outlines the implementing guidelines in the implementation of Urban Agriculture as one of the modalities in making food available, accessible, affordable, safe, and providing additional income to the project beneficiaries. It is the national policy of the State to provide available, affordable, and safe food. The State also recognizes that the population is growing and this means that additional food will be needed. Food production is in the hands of the farmers and fisherfolks, and farming and fishing remain the basic source of food of the people. Food production has to be promoted, hence the Department of Agriculture implements programs that will result to Masaganang Ani at Mataas na Kita. Farmers or food producers are the major stakeholders of the Department of Agriculture. Urban areas have the most number of consumers and are the major market of farm and fish markets. The volume of consumption is so high that on cases of emergencies, the food demand becomes a major challenge for the policy makers and the agricultural and fisheries sector.
