Filipino agriculture and logistics firm Delgado Brothers (Delbros) Group said there is a need for the Philippines to set up more vertical farming facilities in urban cities to address hunger among poor Filipinos.
In a statement, the company said the government needs to be “more open to modern agriculture” as it is a means to drastically reduce hunger in the country.
“With the controlled environment of vertical farming facilities and the limited space it takes up, we can ensure that we provide safe, affordable, and accessible food to Filipinos even in urban areas,” Good Greens and Co. Director of Research and Development Erez Lugassi said.
It was in 2018 when Delbros launched Good Greens and Co.’s vertical farming facilities in the Philippines.
Since its launch, Good Greens and Co. has already achieved 15 successful cycles of produce which includes arugula, basil, pechay, chili, lettuce, and many others.
