Laying Green Grounds: Strengthening Food Gardening and Hydroponics in Tungkop, Minglanilla

At Dilaab Digitals, we believe that empowering communities starts with giving them the tools to thrive sustainably.

On September 27, 2025, we proudly launched Laying Green Grounds: Strengthening Food Gardening and Hydroponics in Tungkop, Minglanilla, an initiative designed to promote food security, healthy lifestyles, and community resilience, aligned with SDG #2: Zero Hunger.

Addressing Food Security Locally

Urbanizing communities often face limited access to fresh, affordable produce. In Tungkop, the puroks are brimming with potential for sustainable food gardening and hydroponics, but many lack the resources to fully develop these practices. 

This project provided gardening and hydroponic tools, along with guidance and support, to help the community establish and maintain productive gardens. By doing so, we aim to reduce reliance on external food sources and encourage a culture of self-sufficiency and collective responsibility.

Supporting Sustainable Food Practices

Through Laying Green Grounds, Dilaab Digitals’ Human Resource Department coordinated with Team Luminaries and Sangguniang Kabataan of Tungkop Minglanilla to identify the puroks that would benefit most from this support. Tools were carefully procured and distributed to ensure each community had what they needed to succeed. The project included:

1. Identification of puroks in Tungkop to receive gardening and hydroponic tools.

2. Procurement of tools tailored to the needs of the community.

3. Distribution of tools with proper documentation for accountability.

4. Orientation on proper tool usage and basic gardening and hydroponics practices.

5. Monitoring and support visits to ensure the sustainability of gardening projects.

6. Evaluation of garden outputs and documentation of success stories.

Growing Together

As we provide both resources and guidance, this initiative equips the residents of Tungkop to establish, expand, and sustain their food gardens. Beyond producing fresh and nutritious food, Laying Green Grounds fosters teamwork, strengthens local resilience, and empowers the community to take ownership of their health and nutrition.

Looking Ahead

This project is a step toward a greener, more self-reliant community. Dilaab Digitals remains committed to initiatives that empower communities, promote sustainable practices, and create meaningful impact in the lives of the people we serve.
