ENGAGE with partner communities in INABANGA, Bohol
who became food secure by piloting the ARK Feed Back PlayBook.
BOHOL
ARK FEED BACK is a vegetable exchange for the whole community.
It inspires families to farm their own food from their backyards, and to produce excess that's shared with their neighbors during exchanges or sold to nearby villages or town.
To date, 77 communities
across 8 provinces graduated–
19,000+ families are food secure,
138,000+ lives are transformed.
See the proof
They proved that the PlayBook, plus getting matched with a Guide (Feed Back graduates), joining in person capacity build gatherings gets families food secure, healthy, able to send their kids' school, and earning new income.
​
It's a real GAMECHANGER!
With this new support structure, ARK can now support 3x more communities in one go! It keeps ARK’s operations lean and mighty, and investment levels relatively low.
Mission: LISTEN, DRAW, CO-CREATE
with 3 communities
Cagawasan
inspired the most number of families to join exchanges and lend a hand
What are their winning diskartes or strategies?
Poblacion
motivated semi-urban families to add backyard gardening and composting into their lifestyles
How did they make it easy and fun?
Cuaming Island

How do we turn challenges into opportunities and assets?
Together with the community leaders and families, we will draw out what they loved, what was easy and useful, and what we need to change.
HOW?
A RESET
be present with ourselves and each other
hike and swim in treasured places
savor our partners’ harvests
draw, write poems, sing or dance to share our partners’ triumphs.
