AGRIman inspects some
fruit at the techAGRI Expo
2017.
The
“world’s first food
and nutrition superhero”
,
as he is called by creator
Alpha Sennon
of the
NGO
WHYFARM
, AGRIman
was on hand at the expo to
promote agriculture among
the youth.
techAGRI
, a
massive event, was held
at the Admin West Field
of the UWI St. Augustine
Campus to be a showcase of
“innovation, entrepreneurship
and commercialisation”
in the local food industry.
The Faculty of Food and
Agriculture
event ran from
March 24 to 26 and included
a host of T&T-made, food-
based products such as coffee,
chocolates, soaps, seasonings
and many others. Attendees,
including several school
groups, enjoyed interactive
tours of the technologies
and processes of the FFA,
and were able to sample
and purchase fresh produce
from UWI farms, as well as
delicacies from the daily food
village. UWI St. Augustine
has made the revitalisation
of local agriculture a mission
for the campus, seeing it as
a critical and viable industry
for the development of a
diversified, export-driven
economy.
