Abstract:  FAITH (Food always In The Home) Gardening is a great tool for food sufficiency and an aid to both physical and spiritual needs of a family.  With the rising number of population, there is also a rising need for food supply.  The relatively high cost of food, especially for organic products, are hardly affordable by the majority of poor.  FAITH Gardening helps people from both urban and rural communities in order to augment their daily food requirements.  It is a technique that does not require large amounts of space, but in a limited space people can grow vegetables in containers and  suing hydroponics. In 150 square meters of land when planted with vegetables, a family of 6 can have at least 50% of their daily food requirements the whole year round.  On this limited space, they can have vegetables, meat, eggs, fish, and herbs. 


Organic gardening, natural farming, herb identification, and preparation for simple ailments, water filtration, fish culture, mushroom culture, azolla culture, odorless swine and poultry production, and bee culture are some of the technologies we are offering. With FAITH Gardening we address the issues of malnutrition, economic alleviation, and being part of helping the country to fulfill its dream in becoming sufficient in food.
