70% of the population in the Philippines works in the agriculture.
Everywhere there is irrigation, rice terraces.
A beautiful view, but ironically enough,
the farmers have the least access to food.
The Philippines has been a win-win for Spanish and American colonialists for years.
And there they still carry food.

The Philippines has been a win-win for Spanish and American colonialists for years.
And there they still carry the consequences.
The economy on the archipelago is dependent on imports and foreign investments.
The government is putting more money in the army than in agriculture.
We have to make sure that we don't have to worry about anything else.
By the Mining Act of 1995, foreign mining companies get free money
to make the cost of people and the environment a profit.
In Kuala Lumpur, the mining activities of the Lepanto mine have already caused a lot of damage.
Their chemicals are released in the rivers that the farmers need to transport.

The Lepanto mine has a dam to protect the chemicals,
but it also has a huge impact on the environment.
The people of Kuala Lumpur are afraid that the dam will break through.
As in 1996, in Marinduq, the millions of tons of toxic waste in the rivers flowed.

In the 1970s, the residents of Tomyang and the surrounding villages
could keep the dam in a Chico river.
This weaponry still stands as a symbol of solidarity among the Flatlands people.
With the help of NGOs, the farmers try to provide an answer to the food problems.
In this shed in Sagada, they make noodles from pumpkins.
Children are proud of it.
You can also easily make it yourself.
The only thing you need is 1 kilogram of flower, 20 grams of salt,
25 milliliters of soda, water and oil.
First, I'm going to slice the vegetables.
What do you need?
Tell me what to do.
You have to peel this one.
Yes.
But you have to peel it right away.
What do I do?
Oh, there's no...
We have only one knife.
We found a knife, so I'm going to help her.
The pumpkin is cut into pieces. The peel goes to the compost and the seeds are planted again.
The pieces then go into the pot.
And how many minutes do you have to boil?
Until the mangotoyung is quashed.
They do eat this, lard, ikabiltayu, ditui, mixer.
It's almost ready.
For 1 kilogram of flower, you need 20 grams of salt.
There is also 25 milliliters of lye water or soda in the mixer.
It ensures the yellow color of the noodles.
You can find it in the Chinese supermarket.
It's a little hard, but it's okay.
You can use it.
You weigh 400 grams of pumpkin and you do the same in the mixer.
Eight minutes later the dough is ready.
And there you can make a dough out of it.
You can also use a dough roll.
You cut the pasta into fine pieces and throw it in boiling water.
After 30 seconds, the pasta comes to a boil, time for the next step.
After the noodles are cooked, they will turn into cold water.
Therefore, the noodles do not stick to each other.
You put the noodles in oil that is heated at 180 degrees Celsius.
After the noodles are cooked, they will be ready to serve.
The noodles are ready to be drained.
They have now put the noodles on a strainer to drain the oil.
Each package is taken separately and with a hand.
Ready is cheese.
This is the Segada squash pancit canton.
The noodle factory in Segada is an initiative where local farmers organize themselves
to see their village during difficult times of food and income.
They support and provide knowledge, material and start capital.
This is the coffee pulper.
In the tool shop of Segada, the farmers make their own food.
Here they come to cut the pasta.
This is how it works.
First of all, there is a lot of training and tools.
It is important to have a lot of effort and training.
The farmers also make their own biomass.
They multiply an inoculant of microorganisms with plants that contain a lot of nitrogen
such as sunflowers or water lilies.
They also produce animals.
This is a mixture of 50% chicken manure and 50% plant materials.
This is a mixture of salt, water lilies and rice bran.

Three Philippine partner organizations from all over the world
are committed to finding sustainable solutions
for problems that farmers are confronted with every day.
They developed a bicycle to make coffee or corn.
They also developed a machine to dry their rice.
When it rains there are metallicielen Sand dunes.
The
Also, the farmers of Ligayan and the surrounding villages have united to defend their interests.
They receive the support of NGOs.
To guarantee the food security, the welfare organizations here have an irrigation system.
They walk up to a waterfall.
Here, the farmers take the water for their rice fields.
Here, the farmers take the water for their rice fields.
The most farmers in the Philippines have no own land.
Often, they also have to leave a large part of the country on their own land.
The villages of Ligayan put the best food on the table for us.
Various kinds of rice, meat, bamboo, meat and insects.
While we eat, people look at us.
They eat their food themselves.

This is the time that we are lacking food.
All kinds of food.
So we have to buy additional food from the province of Tabuk.
Even though there is rice in Tabuk, we have no money to buy.
Year 20 dynasty
This year, the community has changed,
a lot of farmers are working at the village.
Okra were forwarded to work for one year.
The others work, they leave the house and where they come from.
Many farmers use modern rice varieties.
They grow faster, but they also have pesticides and therefore need money.
In addition, the modern crops are less likely to be affected
because the diseases are common in the means of competition.
The new variety that is also used in the market is already available at work.
In 3 months or 3 and a half months,
you will be able to harvest rice meal directly from your village.
In contrast, the old traditional rice fields are very warm.
When we harvest rice, we use rice.
The government promotes the use of modern rice varieties,
but it is mainly the multinationals who do the advantage.
They always earn money through the sale of seeds and pesticides.
The local population remains behind with poor fields.
From the mountain provinces they flock to Baguio
with a dream of making a better life.
But the reality is not.
Because there is that myth also that in the city there is gold.
But some poor will be finding gold in garbage.
To get rid of the difficult life circumstances,
many Filipinos leave the country looking for a better life in the city.
But there is insufficient work and the people come in sloppily.
This is Baguio.
After Manila, the biggest city of the Cordillera.
The rice on the public market is expensive.
While the Filipinos are full of rice terraces,
they have become the world's largest imported country.
And so they are dependent on the rising food prices on the world market.
The own rice production seems to be the only way out,
but the necessary investments of the government remain.
We visit the sloppily forests of Pinguet.
We eat rice, watercress and noodles.
