He added that aside from easing the people's boredom, the AFP teaches the people to be more productive and profitable through urban farming.
"We believe that raising gardens to one million in the National Capital Region is possible following the principle of multi-level marketing. It is essential for people to witness the yielding of vegetables and fruits in the respective partner gardens as well as the community and home gardens in the urban settings," Sayson said.
