Advancing a Healthier and Food-Wise Filipino Nation (Vegetable Consumption)

Filipinos only consume about one-third of the 400g/day of vegetables recommended by the FAO. The Philippines Partnership for Sustainable Agriculture is running a two-part learning and action-planning session on "Advancing a Healthier and Food-Wise Filipino Nation" to identify the most effective way to bridge this gap while supporting smallholder livelihoods.
