What Shall We Do?

A mother arrives at her home and finds that her children are unwell, she realized that they don’t have enough nutrients. They were always tired, they barely have enough energy to eat. Then the mother realized why and said, “how can they get enough nutrients when the prices of the vegetables are so high?”  “I can’t feed my kids the nutrients they need!”

Every year in the month of July, Nutrition Month is celebrated to increase awareness of people specially students to live a better and healthier life. This year is the theme is "Ugaliing Magtanim Sapat na Nutrisyon Aanihin!"

People nowadays do not give importance to farming because they know that they can simply buy it at their local market or grocery store. Unfortunately recently the prices of vegetables are being raised and there was an issue about unhealthy growing habits of some suppliers. This raised the concern of many specially of the people who are financially unstable, because of this they started finding a way to save.

Families are slowly starting to produce different kinds of vegetables, fruits, crops. By re-defying the way we live their lives they have learned so many perks of what they are doing. they are now sure that what they eat are safe because they are the ones taking care of them. Other than this they do not have to worry about the raise in the price of vegetables because they can just harvest the ones they grow.
