A call has been made for young children to be taught to grow and appreciate agriculture from an early age.
Minister of Agriculture, Hon. Israel Bruce made this call at a recent event.
Minister Bruce said that he believes Saint Vincent and the Grenadines can become a pioneer by involving preschoolers in simple agricultural activities, helping to plant the concept of productivity and the importance of agriculture in their minds early.
Minister Bruce is also calling for a collective national effort, stressing that technical staff within the ministry and backyard gardeners will play a key role in easing the economic crunch and reducing the country’s food import bill.
