THE local government of Muntinlupa, in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture-Extension Services Office (DA-ESO) has launched the city demonstration or demo farm, the first local government unit (LGU)-operated intensive hydroponics system in Metro Manila.

Mayor Jaime Fresnedi led the inauguration of the Muntinlupa City demo farm, located at the Muntinlupa Sports Complex in Barangay Tunasan last November 11. The local demo farm consisted of various agricultural systems, which could be visited by the public for viewing. City residents and visitors may also conduct their research on the farm for agricultural technologies and harvesting methods.
