Caribbean Week of Agriculture: “Take care of the land and it will take care of you,” farmer tells regional forum
Farmers in the region on Monday welcomed the attention being placed on family farming, but cautioned against the absence of women and youth, shifting goalposts and ignoring cultural elements in the development of policy for the sub-sector.
The advice was provided from the floor at a seminar titled ‘Caribbean Agricultural Transformation: the Role of Family Farming’. It was the first activity of the 13th Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA) now underway in Paramaribo, Suriname.
