 Agriculture blog winners
The Agribusiness Society (ABS) of The UWI has won the first edition of the Technical Centre for Agriculture and Rural Cooperation’s (CTA) Yobloco Awards (Youth in Agriculture Blog Competition).
Last year the society began a blog which highlights technologies, techniques and methods, both old and new that can be applied to the agricultural sector at any level. The blog won in the Institutional Category for the Caribbean Region. As part of the prize package, winners in that category as well as the Individual category were invited and sponsored to attend the 3rd International Association of Agricultural Information Specialist (IAALD) Africa Chapter Conference in Johannesburg in May.
The Caribbean was represented by Keron Bascombe, author and creator of the blog and representative of the ABS. Other regional representatives include Barbadian, Keeley Holder of the Caribbean Farmer’s Network and Jamaican Ivy Gordon of Jefferson Farms. The winners, runners-up and their prolific blogs can be found at the CTA ARDYIS website.
The society’s blog is entitled “Technology4agri”(http://technology4agri.wordpress.com/)
