Basseterre,St.Kitts October 12 2020 (SKNVIBES)
The following is an address by Hon. Alexis Jeffers, Deputy Premier of Nevis and Minister of Agriculture for World Food Day 2020 observed on October 16.The agriculture sector on the island of Nevis has always had a special place in the heart of the people of Nevis. It is common knowledge that grandparents of thecurrent generation were predominantly working in this important sector from which they were able to nurture our generation.
The Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations (UN) has endorsed the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and has been using the sub theme “Our Actions Our Future.” This essentially means that the decisions we make now, especially in terms of agriculture, determines what happens tomorrow. We can decide to plant a tree that would provide fruits in four to five years or we can decide to clear a plot of agricultural land and establish a car wash. We must decide now which action will be most beneficial for our future.
