00:00 For those who are looking for vegetables that are literally fresh from the farm,

00:04 urban farms are a must-buy.

00:06 There is a place in BGC, Taguig, where you can rent land for vegetable cultivation.

00:12 Watch this, with Jamie Santos.

00:15 In the middle of the rising house of BGC Taguig,

00:23 the urban farm that is called BGC Community Garden is blooming.

00:27 You can find various types of vegetables here,

00:30 such as lettuce, okra, and tomatoes.

00:33 There are also herbs and spices.

00:35 Louie Gutierrez started the urban farm

00:38 to help those who lost their jobs because of the pandemic.

00:42 Initially, my intention was for my family,

00:45 and then for my employees who lost their jobs because of the pandemic.

00:49 Then you look at it as a bigger purpose right now,

00:52 it's helping the community and the city.

00:57 The urban farm is open to the public, free and free of entrance fee.

01:01 If you are interested in farming, you can learn here.

01:05 They are doing training and workshops about urban farming

01:10 to encourage young people to farm.

01:13 We'd like to inspire the young people to get into agriculture

01:16 because the median age of a farmer right now,

01:19 the Filipino farmer, is 55 years old.

01:21 So imagine in 10 years, if we don't have anything to do,

01:24 we might not have anything to eat, just imported.

01:26 For those who want to learn more,

01:29 we also have workshops here on the farm.

01:32 We also have small donations to the organization

01:35 so we can buy seeds and support the farmers who maintain the farm.

01:40 In farming, you don't need a lot of land to grow vegetables.

01:45 If you don't have land, you can rent or adopt a farm.

01:49 It has a 1 square meter area where you can plant vegetables.

01:53 Take care of it until it can be harvested.

01:57 We have an area there, a select number of pods that we rent out

02:01 as part of our income generating activities to support the farm.

02:06 And what we do is guided planting.

02:09 Don't worry if you think you don't have a green thumb.

02:13 You just need knowledge, interest, patience and patience.

02:17 You can also buy freshly harvested veggies here.

02:21 This can be eaten with salads.

02:25 The Urban Farm is open from 6am to 6pm.

02:29 For GMA Integrated News, Jaime Santos is your witness.

02:33 Kapuso, let's be witnesses together!
