On October 24, 2023, Pangasinan State University – Sta. Maria Campus (PSU-SM) began construction of the Mushroom Steel Hanger Project, a facility designed to advance sustainable food production and contribute to food security in alignment with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2. Led by contractor Engr. Santia, along with his project engineer and construction team, the project aims to support mushroom cultivation as a viable local food source.
Key PSU officials were on-site to assist and oversee, including University Architect Gabriel, Dr. Honorio L. Cascolan of PSU-SM CED, Dr. Cesar G. Della, Mushroom Technology Generator, and Engr. Romeo Ancheta, Campus Physical Plant Coordinator.
This initiative represents PSU’s continued commitment to promoting sustainable agriculture practices that address local food needs and enhance community resilience
