00:02 - Crystal Manswell is armed to farm.

00:09 - I am the founder, aka the general of the Green Army.

00:13 So what we do is that we, with this community garden,

00:16 we are creating a cycle of sustainable,

00:20 basically a sustainable ecosystem

00:24 where we are regenerating recycled waste

00:27 into resources that we use now to feed the less fortunate

00:30 and the elderly in the community.

00:32 - At the Eco Food Park in Lahocata,

00:34 the general, along with her young batch of soldiers,

00:37 have taken up the fight to improve both agricultural

00:40 and environmental sustainability.

00:42 - We are now regenerating it,

00:48 and it's helping to build the soil.

00:51 When you mulch with grass clippings,

00:53 it's actually reducing the amount of evaporation,

00:56 so you're getting to save water as well.

00:58 So it's a lot of benefits for regenerating organic waste

01:02 in terms of just helping with the environment,

01:04 but you're also using less chemicals,

01:08 which has a lot of toxic impact and stuff like that

01:10 with your own health.

01:12 - Manswell believes key to the Green Army's

01:14 successful mission is youth participation.

01:17 - We're in phase two, Lahocata.

01:20 You know, many would perceive this area

01:21 as a repressed community, but we are not saying that.

01:24 We are positive youths that are making a positive impact

01:28 on the community, starting with this community garden,

01:31 where we collect signatures and army soldiers, basically,

01:36 who are championing for the environment.

01:38 - As the Green Army marches

01:40 towards climate-conscious food production,

01:42 no one is being left behind.

01:44 - Okay, no problem.

01:47 - Jesse Ramdeo, CNC3 News.
