Department of Agriculture to Grow Own Produce
The Department of Agriculture is looking to get involved in improving food security here.
A plot of land in Duck Pond, belonging to the department,is being prepared for produce such as citrus and plantains, so that the island can be self-sustainable.
Acting Director of Agriculture, Dr. Selwyn Maloney, says it is important for the department to lead by example, as well as provide a learning experience for farmers.
