Guyana prepared for challenges to supply food

Oct 16, 2008 Letters

Dear Editor,
The renewed importance of agriculture can be felt across the world in light of the current global financial and food crisis. However, I am pleased to say that our country is somewhat insulated to the hardships some countries are experiencing.
Agriculture has proven its pivotal importance over centuries, yet some developed countries are doing contrary, thereby jeopardizing their ability to access adequate food and ultimately their survival.
I have witnessed the evolution of agriculture over the past few years in Guyana and the urgency by the Ministries of Agriculture and Education to attract the interest of students in this humble but yet lucrative field is commendable. Therefore, I would like to commend these two ministries for their initiatives and for recognising the future importance of agriculture.
Guyana is well positioned to benefit from the opportunities that exist within the challenges that the world is faced with to provide food. Some developed countries boast that they are food secure; having finance is not considered food security, but having the ability to ensure the citizens of a country have an opportunity to access affordable food is.
Food revolution is the next big thing and Guyana is well geared for the challenges that lie ahead. I therefore salute the Ministry of Agriculture to continue to support our farmers for the inevitable challenges that await us.
