The schedules of the free online seminars are as follows:

The urban agriculture seminars are just some of the many initiatives that DA has undertaken to promote the importance of planting for food security.

DA has also given away free seeds and seedlings to Filipino gardeners and has even launched a planting contest to encourage more people to get into gardening.

The free online seminars will be streamed every Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. on the official Facebook page of DA-BAR.
