Initial works for SHEC’s proposed ecofarm in Norzagaray, Bulacan is underway. In April 15, 2009 a team of experts from the country’s Bureau of Soil and Water Management (BSWM) conducted a topographical survey and land tests to come up with an initial Land Use and Development Plan for the 4-hectare area. The team, coordinated by SHEC staff Jeffrey Abuan, is composed of engineers Mamerto Martinez, Antonio Rivera, Raymundo Galanta, and Jose Manguerra.
The comprehensive plan guides SHEC on best possible combination of trees, crops, as well as farm animals which are of best value for consumption and commerce, and are most suited to the area.
The SHEC Bulacan Ecofarm shall contribute to the sustainability of SHEC operations through its farm produce and retreat facilities. In addition, it will help promote community development by creating employment and by serving as a prototype on integrated farming where families and groups can learn.
