The recently concluded VeggieEskwela BootCamp in the Province of Basilan—held last November 18–21, 2025—marks another meaningful step toward building food-secure, nutritionally empowered communities across the island.
In partnership with the OPAg Basilan (Office of the Provincial Agriculture), the Provincial Government of Basilan, DA – PCAF (Philippine Council for Agriculture and Fisheries) and the Zuellig Family Foundation, this four-day Training of Trainers brought together around 30 passionate future trainers united by a shared vision: to cultivate a healthier, more self-sustaining generation of people of Basilan.
Throughout the BootCamp, participants deepened their knowledge on nutrition-sensitive agriculture, community coaching, and household food production—gaining both the technical skills and leadership mindset needed to champion food security in their respective LGUs. More than just training, it became a space for collaboration, inspiration, and renewed commitment to making healthy food accessible to every family.
Together, we move closer to a Basilan where every household can plant, harvest, and nourish their own well-being. Because when communities grow food, communities grow strong.
Grateful to all our partners and champions who continue to walk with us in this mission. The work continues, and the impact begins with each one of us.
