Plans underway for Caribbean agriculture week in October

The Caribbean Community (Caricom) made public their arrangements for moving forward with the Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA) event. 

The theme of the CWA event is ‘Linking the Caribbean for Regional Food and Nutrition Security and Rural Development.’ The CWA event will be held in Guyana (hosted by the local Government) from October 4 - 12, 2013 featuring fisheries and forestry. 

The objective of the event is to "enable the key decision-makers in the public and private sectors to better acknowledge the importance of agriculture and rural life to the economic, social and environmental stability of the region [and] [i]t is also geared to provide major stakeholders in agriculture and related sectors with an opportunity to dialogue and forge a common vision for the repositioning of agriculture and the enhancement of rural life."

Activities will begin on October 4, 2013 with a formal opening on October 9, 2013.
