DID YOU KNOW: November is Organic Agriculture Month

By virtue of Proclamation No. 1030 signed on May 21, 2015, by then President Benigno Aquino III, November was declared Organic Agriculture Month.

According to the proclamation, the practice of organic agriculture nationwide, as a farming system, is an effective tool for development, environmental conservation, and health protection of farmers, consumers and the general public.

It also enhances global competitiveness and environmental integrity. —Marielle Medina, Inquirer Research
