Bohol Vice Governor Julius Caesar Herrera believes agriculture is still Bohol's "last, best hope".
"We need to rely on agriculture to help our people during the difficult days ahead," he noted.
Herrera said the country is facing uncertain times in the future with the bleak worldwide economic forecast.
He noted that the continued increase in the price of oil has given rise to fears that the economy will be even more difficult ahead.
"We cannot rely on other potential sources of income because they will be adversely affected if the situation deteriorates," the vice-governor added.
Herrera said this is the reason why the people should go back to agriculture before it is too late.
"People can plant root crops and other cash crops in their backyards and vacant lots," he added.
The vice-governor noted that there are still many idle lots in the province which can be tapped for this use.
He pointed out that with the rice crisis continuing to threaten the country, the people will be able to save if they grow their own produce in their backyards.
"These are very difficult times and anything that can help us survive is welcome," he noted.
