From Seed to Plate

Premium kitchen brands Sub-Zero and Wolf are collaborating with Good Food Community to provide better livelihoods and brighter futures for Philippine farmers

- 

Home to rich agriculture and lush landscapes, the Philippines owes a significant part of its identity to the unsung heroes who toil day in and day out to provide food for the nation. Though often recognised as the backbone of the country’s economy, small-scale farmers continue to face tremendous challenges with limited institutional support.

This is a prevailing reality for the women farmers of the Chico River Organic Practitioners Organisation (CROPO) based in Bauko, Mountain Province. Passionate about their craft despite the odds, they endure arduous journeys through treacherous terrains, dense forests and unpredictable weather conditions, carrying over 20 kilograms of produce on their backs each time.
