The LGU Sogod Demo Farm: A Vision for Food Security and Agriculture Progress
The LGU Sogod Demo Farm stands as one of the most innovative initiatives established by our Municipal Mayor, Hon. Sheffered Lino S. Tan, in response to the growing issue of food insufficiency. Several years ago, Mayor Tan envisioned providing the people of Kahupian with a dedicated piece of land where they could cultivate their own crops without the burden of rental costs with free provision of vegetable seedlings. This initiative is a key component of the municipality’s food security program.
Through his strong advocacy, Mayor Tan has committed to positioning Sogod as one of the leading vegetable producers in Southern Leyte, with a clear priority for local market supply. Kahupian, with its vast land area and ideal elevation of 2,500 feet above sea level, offers perfect conditions for growing high-value crops such as fruits and vegetables.
Mayor Tan’s vision reflects his deep concern for his constituents and his unwavering dedication to agriculture as a major pillar of local development. His leadership exemplifies how public service can directly address the essential needs of the community—especially in achieving food security and sustainable livelihoods.
