CDA Joins Hands on Mega Farm Projects

A new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between The UWI and the Chaguaramas Development Authority (CDA) in August. This MOU outlines several areas of cooperation in relation to the work being done on the Government’s Mega Farm at Tucker Valley.

The agreement enables collaborative research to develop agribusiness models, suitable varieties, production systems, agricultural machinery designs, post-harvest technologies and product development. It creates an opportunity for joint design and delivery of training programmes in the general areas of farming, fisheries and agricultural science and technology, research and experimentation, environmental management, including marine science, infrastructure development and enhancement, recreational and tourism product development, and other areas relevant to the achievement of food security and sustainable development.
