Ms. Davis, an expert in horticulture, emphasized the value of incorporating fresh and healthy home-grown produce into daily meals.

Mr. Cabungcal, also provided valuable insights on food innovation and technology, highlighting potential opportunities to make nutritious food more affordable and sustainable.
