Urban Farming is Family Affair for More Pinoys

Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo joins Sen. Kiko Pangilinan, and ATI’s Romermart Peñamora in Agri Tayo.

DILIMAN, Quezon City—Now a daily activity in the household of actress and chef Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo, urban farming has become a constant source not only of proper nutrition but also of a garden-to-table learning experience for their family.

The now-certified plantita, who ventured into urban farming when the community quarantine started, has discovered the advantages in having their own vegetable production area at home. She shared this, together with some vegetable recipes, in the fourth episode of Agri Tayo streamed over Facebook and YouTube on July 23.
