Congress listened to the Boholanos on how food sufficiency can be attained amidst crisis during a well-attended joint House committee consultative conference here Friday primarily tackling the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act (AFMA).
In an interaction, the lawmakers appreciated the sober assessment by Bohol's concerned sectors and stakeholders on the present condition of agriculture while AFMA has yet to proximate its food security target.
The consultation, done at Bohol Tropics' Grand Ballroom, formed part of the continuing congressional public hearing nationwide on House Resolution 170, which calls for the review of AFMA implementation.
The conference was led by Rep. Abraham Kahlil Mitra, chairman of the House committee on agriculture and food, Rep. Alfredo Marañon, chairman of the committee on aquaculture and fisheries resources, Rep. Edgar Chatto, senior vice chairman of the agriculture committee, and Rep. Nicanor Briones, vice chairman of the special committee on food security.
