The Philippines government is leading an effort to bring back small fish as a key component of the rural diet. Small fish, also known as "galunggong," was once a staple of the Filipino diet, but their consumption has declined in recent years.
This is partly due to the rise of imported and processed foods, which are often cheaper and more readily available than locally sourced fish. However, small fish are an important source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients, and their decline has led to a rise in malnutrition and related health problems.
To address this issue, the government is promoting the consumption of small fish through a range of initiatives, including education campaigns, subsidies for small-scale fishermen, and the establishment of community fish ponds. The aim is to make small fish more accessible and affordable for rural communities and to improve the overall health and well-being of the Filipino people.
