He will speak on Training – the human resource deficit in Agriculture and Fisheries, and the youth as the future of our food in Grenada. On Production and Export, he will address focus on key crops with extension support and connections to local and international markets, as well as airlift support for Agriculture and Fisheries outputs. Capacity to Recover means support of farmers/fishers organisations and governance, as well as inter-ministerial coordination.

Serving Farmers and Fisherfolks Towards a Sustainable and Better Life
Please government please. We appreciate the tourists. But it’s time that we start to have a large agriculture and fishing industry. We need to export our agriculture produce. We cant only depend on tourism. We need to legalise weed and start medical weed farms. We can become a developed and sustainable country through the agriculture.
