Bohol — The Province of Bohol, under the visionary leadership of Governor Aris Aumentado, is once again at the forefront of nationwide advocacies as it joins the entire Philippines in observing the 52nd Nutrition Month this July 2026. This year’s celebration is deeply meaningful, anchored on the timely and urgent theme: “Nutrisyon at Kalikasan, Ating Pangalagaan!” The campaign serves as a powerful reminder that our personal well-being is inextricably linked to the health of our planet, highlighting the critical role that sustainable environmental stewardship plays in ensuring food security for every Filipino family.
A Convergence of Health and Ecology
In Bohol, the celebration of Nutrition Month takes on a unique dimension. As the country's first UNESCO Global Geopark, the province understands that protecting its natural resources is the bedrock of its long-term food supply. Governor Aumentado has consistently emphasized that sustainable agriculture—which includes the use of drought-resistant crops, organic fertilizers, and climate-smart farming techniques—is essential to safeguarding the nutritional needs of Boholanos against the impacts of climate change. By promoting this year's theme, the province encourages residents to adopt healthier diets rooted in locally available, nutrient-rich produce like malunggay, squash, and native fruits, all while minimizing the environmental footprint of their daily food choices.
Building a Resilient Future for Boholanos
The provincial government’s approach to the 52nd Nutrition Month is not a standalone effort, but a continuation of its broader Strategic Governance Roadmap. Through the Provincial Nutrition Council, Bohol has intensified efforts to bridge the gap between nutrition and nature by supporting community gardens, school-based feeding initiatives, and localized food production systems that are resilient to extreme weather. Governor Aumentado calls upon all local government units, barangay officials, and every Boholano household to actively participate in this month’s activities. By fostering a deeper understanding of how our food choices can protect the environment, Bohol is not only nurturing its current generation but is also securing a healthier, greener, and more prosperous future for the next one.
