Nakakarami din naman ng kanin kahit ganito lang na ulamin

Paubos na ang bunga ng mga tanim, kaya sulitin | ginataang gulay ba may karne at dried fish

Freshness in every bite

Just a reminder my friend 😁

Sa pinakagipit na mga sandali, doon tayo natututong maging imbentor ng sarili nating survival manual. Because when you have nothing extra, you learn how to make the most out of what you have. Noong araw, bago pa naging uso ang mga salitang sustainable farming, food security, at self sufficiency may version na tayo niyan sa bahay. Yung bakuran, hindi naman ornamental garden. Hindi kailangan magandang tingnan. Hindi rin pangpost sa facebook. It was our extended kitchen shelf.
May kamote para may matalbusan kapag petsa de peligro. May malunggay para may maisahog sa sabaw. May kung anong gulay na pwwdeng pitasin kapag wala nang pambili sa palengke. Because there were days when the pockets were empty, but the kitchen still had to have something to offer. At doon mo matututunan na hindi lahat ng pagkain kailangang bilhin. Sometimes, you just need to know how to plant, how to preserve, how to find food, and how to make do with what you have. Yung mga bagay na dati nating akala ay simpleng buhay lang yung pagtatanim sa bakuran, pag iipon ng buto, paggamit ng kung ano ang available those were survival skills all along.

And maybe that is one of the greatest things people who grew up with less carry with them. Because sometimes, the people who learned to live with “nothing” are the same people who know how to turn almost nothing into something.

Hindi man mayaman sa pera, pero mayaman sa diskarte.

Hindi sapat na mag-rely lang sa kung anong binibigay ng kalikasan.
Marunong kang mag-forage, pero dapat marunong ka ring magtanim.

Kasi hindi naman sa lahat ng panahon may makukuha kang puwedeng anihin sa paligid. May mga season na kaunti ang available, may panahon na walang makuha kaya magtanim din. Para hindi sa lahat ng oras kailangan mong maglibot para maghanap ng makakain. May sarili kang tanim na puwedeng anihin kapag kailangan.

That’s not just about farming. That’s food security. Hindi lang dapat marunong kumuha ng pagkain ngayon. Dapat marunong ding gumawa ng paraan para may pagkain bukas.

Forage what nature provides. Plant what you can. Grow food so you’re not always dependent on what you can find.
