Abstract:

This study explores the initiatives of Local Government Units (LGUs) in Cebu, Philippines, to support vegetable farmers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a mixed-methods approach, we assess the effectiveness of policies, financial aid, and capacity-building programs in enhancing agricultural resilience. Key findings highlight the role of LGU-driven innovations in mitigating economic disruptions and improving food security. Challenges such as resource limitations and policy gaps are also examined. The study underscores the need for sustainable, adaptive strategies to strengthen local agricultural systems against future crises.
