Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 11, Issue 8
Abstract
The purpose of studying communal gardening as an input for socioeconomic improvement of 4P's family is to explore how this approach can help to address food insecurity, generate income, promote social cohesion, and improve overall well-being among this vulnerable population. The investigation covered the following: the Perceived Communal Gardening Related Variables as to Objectives, Health and Nutrition, Hunger Eradication, Food Security, and Attitude. Contribution of Communal Gardening for Socioeconomic Improvement as to Food, Health, Environment, Income and Family Relationship. A total of 85 parents, who are beneficiaries of the 4P's program, were chosen from 10 distinct barangays within the school's catchment area. These parents actively took part in the survey during the academic year 2022-2023. The results demonstrated a notable and positive association between the socioeconomic advancement of 4P's families and communal gardening related variables. In light of the findings, Even after the parents have graduated from the 4P's program as beneficiaries, they can still engage in communal gardening within their own backyard, drawing on the knowledge and skills acquired during their participation in the program. This activity can have significant benefits for their family, and it can be passed down through generations to contribute to their socioeconomic improvement. Despite the challenges of poverty, communal gardening can provide valuable support to sustain their needs. In summary, parents can play an active role in communal gardening, which can contribute to their daily lives by providing them with access to fresh produce, new skills, social connections, educational opportunities, and even income-generating activities.
