The tiny island-nation of Antigua and Barbuda is no stranger to vulnerability. Whether it be tropical cyclones, drought, or the other circumstances typical of a developing nation, the country has been through its fair share of trials. Contextually speaking, the fact that we continue to endure is quite impressive. Though, one potential weakness of the island – Food Security – might be a bigger looming threat than we think, especially considering global trends.
The Government of Antigua and Barbuda seems to be taking this issue of Food Security seriously, putting a variety of initiatives into operation. However, an underlying vice – underrated but incredibly potent – always stands ready to derail a society, regardless of its efforts and good intentions.
Can any society, especially a developing one, sustain manifold success without a keen, developed sense of community? This is the topic we aimed to examine in this video.
I am going to say this much…It was a well put together video/documentary concentrating on agricultural security for our country and I am hoping the powers that be get to watch this video. food for thought
The government plans are to build their pockets and bring down costs that only helps them. Let’s not be a fool to the words of Gaston n the rest
Those who have ears to hear will they really hear? And eyes to see will they really see?
Backyard gardening is part of the solution to our problem. Our food import bill is ridiculous. We can try to keep some of those millions in the country
Really good production. Well done Antigua News. Highlighting the importance of food security. We really tend to take things for granted!
Well put together as usual.
