The gathering brings together key decision-makers to align strategies that will further strengthen the province’s agricultural foundation and ensure long-term food security for Tarlaqueños.

The strategic dialogue centers on advancing sustainable food systems by promoting climate-resilient agricultural practices, enhancing local food production, and improving supply chain efficiency from farm to market. Discussions were facilitated by Dr. Agnes C. Perey, the Director for Extension and Training and Mr. Orlando H. Locading Jr, the Chief of Presidential Management Staff on which they highlight the need to address pressing challenges, including fluctuating food supplies, rising production costs, post-harvest losses, and limited access to nutritious food in vulnerable communities.
