The
municipal government shall aim to produce more to
sustain the needs of the population. Using the same
land area for planning purposes, upgrading of technology
and production techniques and strategies must be
implemented to increase agricultural production.
Diversification of crops and experimenting on other
high yielding varieties of agricultural crops can
also be done. Cultivation of high value crops aimed
at providing other agricultural based livelihood
programs will enhance the affordability level of
the population to avail of agricultural food requirements
not produced in the municipality. Thus, agricultural
self-sufficiency will mean production of the required
foodstuffs and generating income from agriculture
that will boost the buying power of the population.
