German support for farmers in Central Luzon alleviates poverty and stimulates entrepreneurship – an excellent example: The German embassy received a visit of a delegation of farmers from Bataan and Zambales in Central Luzon. They described vividly how their economic situation has improved as a result of support financed by the German government and provided through German Protestant Church development assistance arm "Bread for the World" together with Philippine non-profit organizations PDI and FIAN. The "Peoples' Development Institute" (PDI) which supports marginalized population groups in questions of land tenure, livelihood and empowerment showcased some of their agricultural products. The “Foodfirst Information Action Network” (FIAN) is a human rights organization that promotes the right to adequate food. The visitors shared not only their touching success stories, but also showcased some of the food items they nowadays can produce and market - concrete proof for development support leading to tangible – and delicious… - results.
