SM Foundation, Inc. in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture and the Cebu City Agriculture Office, launched the Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan Urban Gardening in SM City Cebu.

Participants were beneficiaries of the government’s 4Ps program who attended the launching ceremonies at the Event Centre in SM City Cebu.

Rooted in the vision of the late Henry “Tatang” Sy Sr., the Urban Farming initiative aims to equip Filipinos, particularly those from low-income communities, with essential skills in high-value crop farming. Through this, he envisioned helping empower individuals to cultivate their produce, and foster potential income sources, while contributing to the country's overall environmental sustainability.

Since its inception in 2007, the KSK-SAP has collaborated effectively with government agencies and partner farm schools, successfully training over 28,550 beneficiaries in both rural and urban farming techniques.

Further aligning with the SM group’s dedication to spreading social good, the initiative will provide comprehensive training on urban farming techniques and hands-on lectures on product development, marketing, and basic accounting while aiming to transform underutilized urban spaces into productive gardens.

SM Foundation will also include the DA-NUPAP in its Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan on Sustainable Agriculture Program, which provides employment to local farmers.
