# data[].attributes.body
The majority of farmers in the province are also involved in livestock and poultry production because it is a profitable and long-term business. They not only produce food, but they also provide a ready source of cash to buy the inputs they need to increase crop production, such as seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. Cavite has remained free of foot and mouth disease (FMD) and avian flu for several years. Fishing is a vital source of livelihood for Cavite fishermen, who have a shoreline that stretches for around 122.574 kilometers.

SDG 12 Deprivation: Solid Waste Management 

# data[].attributes.body
Despite the existence of several laws and rules governing garbage disposal, it is one of the most critical challenges in Philippine cities. Under Provincial Ordinance No. 43-S-2008, the local government of Cavite drafted the Environmental Code. Articles on waste management, air, and noise pollution management, and environmental impact assessment are only a few of the code's highlights. Garbage disposal in Cavite is a major concern, despite the existence of environmental codes and regulations. As of June 2020, the status of Cavite’s sanitary landfills falls short compared to the other municipalities and provinces in CALABARZON. There are only 2 LGU-owned landfills: operational and ongoing construction. While there is only 1 privately owned landfill: closed. In addressing this issue, we are decreasing and eliminating the negative effects of waste products on human health and the environment. This allows the promotion of economic growth and a higher quality of life.

Solid Waste Management Practices of Selected LGUs in Cavite

# data[].attributes.body
A study was conducted in 2017 by Jean Gabrielle B. Dela Cruz regarding the Solid Waste Management Practices of Selected LGUs in Cavite. The study looked at the current solid waste management techniques in the province of Cavite's three fastest-growing cities: Bacoor, Dasmarinas, and Imus. Secondary sources were used to obtain information, with particular attention paid to published documents. The results demonstrate that there is a dearth of equipment and facilities to carry out the practices that are required by law. Furthermore, regulatory and enforcement powers, as well as public education, awareness, and participation programs, are not being properly applied.

# data[].attributes.body
Despite the global economic downturn, Cavite was able to sustain its industrial locators by expanding the number of industrial firms from 806 in 2010 to 824 in 2011. The province is still regarded as the most popular investment destination.

Incineration
Incineration is the process of burning waste at a high temperature (rapid oxidation). With this technology, organic constituents in waste materials are being destroyed. Incineration systems can reduce the volume of waste by up to 96 percent. Even though incineration does not eliminate the need for landfills, it does help to reduce the amount of waste that ends up there. Garbage can also be converted into energy which can be utilized to produce electricity or heat. Other advantages include uncontaminated groundwater, effective metal recycling, production of methane gas is prevented, and so on. Although, there are still downsides in utilizing this technique. Since smoke is produced in the burning process, nitrogen oxide, acid gasses, heavy metals, particulates, and carcinogen dioxin are produced by the smoke which is detrimental to the health of the environment given that it is poisonous. Furthermore, long-term problems may arise as waste reduction and recycling are not encouraged in this process. The ash waste can also cause potential harm to the environment and its people.

With 88 and 40 significant bodies of water, Region IV has the most classified water bodies. Despite its vast water resources, Cavite has issues with water quality. As of December 2021, the water quality in Cavite is low amounting to 24.07.  The Imus River’s Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) is classified as class C, implying that a large component of the river is unable to sustain its biological resources. This also poses a threat to the fish farms which is one of their sources of income as well, affecting the economy.

Oceans, seas, and coastal areas supply a variety of resources and services that are critical to human well-being and global food security. Fisheries and aquaculture provide numerous potential to alleviate hunger and enhance nutrition, as well as to alleviate poverty, stimulate economic growth, and assure better resource management.

Detection and quantification of microplastics from cultured green mussel Perna viridis in Bacoor Bay, Cavite, Philippines

# data[].attributes.body
Microplastic pollution of the aquatic environment is a global issue that poses a threat to aquatic organisms as well as human health. However, just a few reports have been published in the Philippines, particularly in relation to various edible fishery products. As a result, an inquiry to report its occurrence in edible fishing products is required, particularly in a fisheries-dependent country. Microplastics were detected, characterized, and quantified in Bacoor Bay, Cavite, Philippines, from cultivated Green mussels Perna viridis. Microplastic is found in abundance in Bacoor Bay, according to one study.

Sensors
Sensors are essential for precisely checking water quality, and the measurement data is subsequently saved in an application or internet program. The final step entails processing and analyzing data before making therapy suggestions based on the findings. If there are any irregularities or odd fluctuations, algorithms generate reliable analyses and recommendations.
