FORMER DIRECTOR GENERAL of the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture, Dr Chelston Brathwaite, has called  for a new focus on local agriculture that will  bring benefits including a reduction in the  food import bill.
He said the new vision for agriculture should have a focus on making it an integral part of driving agro-related sectors  of the economy, including tourism and others.
Brathwaite  made the comments as he delivered the Methodist Church’s Seventh Annual Memorial Lecture in honour of national heroine  Sarah Ann Gill at the packed Frank Collymore Hall last week.
He spoke about  Social Justice And  The Role of the  Church In Agricultural Development. (RMB)
