The Vendor Business School (VBS) is a program of the QC Food Security Task Force (FSTF) in partnership with CGIAR, aimed at improving the food system and food distribution in our city. The VBS seeks to provide additional knowledge to vendors in the city on how to manage their businesses more effectively and develop them.

With the completion of the first batch of VBS graduates on August 23, an exhibit was launched in the lobby of the Quezon City Hall High Rise Building, where you can obtain more information about the program and see testimonies and stories of the experiences and successes of the vendors who participated in the program.

Invitations continue to come asking us to share our experience towars food security and sustainability.

The Teaching and Learning Hub (TLH) building in UPOU is also a rainwater harvester. The four hexagonal roofs collect rainwater and store it in an underground cistern. The water is then pumped to irrigate the FMDS Perma GARDEN 💧💦🌧☔️

Food Rescue for the start of the year!🥬
