– Agriculture official It is crucial to the Guyana economy that every effort is made by the Education sector to find innovative ways to attract the brightest students to the subject area of Agriculture Science, with a view of continuing the successful drive of the agriculture industry.This notion was emphasised recently by Technical Manager within the Agriculture Ministry, Mr Michael Welch.He was at the time addressing a gathering at the launch of the Schools Gardening Competition, which comes as part of the observance of Education Month.According to Welch, it has been observed that, over the years, many teachers and students have embraced the notion that it is only students who could not do well who were relegated to the field of agriculture.This misconception, as a result, Welch said, led to many brilliant students opting out of the subject area as soon as it was possible.But, according to Welch, this trend must be reversed, even as he pointed out that Guyana is an agriculture-based economy.He disclosed that, in terms of contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the sector contributes in excess of 33 per cent.Moreover, he noted,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, the sector has embarked on what is called ‘agriculture diversification,’ where emphasis is being placed on other crops and livestock.But with the shortage of food on the global market, Welch said, the sector has embraced a strategy that is being approached through the ‘Grow More’ campaign, a process which he regarded as twofold –market driven and kitchen driven.According to the Technical Manager, the whole idea of growing more food came into being after it was recognised over the last couple of years that the population of the world has been increasing.He disclosed that, in 1999,Wholesale Jerseys China, the world’s population amounted to about five billion,Wholesale MLB Jerseys, and it was predicted that by the year 2050 it would be close to nine billion.As a result, it was deduced that the birth rate has been exceeding the death rate and people are living longer, therefore “there are more mouths to feed,” Welch asserted.He pointed out that the continent of Asia alone accounts for over 60 per cent of the total world population,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, even as he noted that the population of the Caribbean has been growing at an alarming rate annually.In fact, he noted, the Caribbean’s population has increased from the 1999 figure of over 500 million and it is predicted to reach close to one billion by the year 2050.The general notion, according to Welch,NFL Jerseys Authentic China, is that the population of the world has been increasing at about two per cent per annum.And so, with such a notable increase in the population, there is always a heavy impact that is exerted on the environment to sustain such high levels of growth.And this problem, he said, is manifested through food shortage, which expectedly lends to a rise in the cost of foods.Technical Manager within the Agriculture Ministry, Mr Michael WelchIt has been reported that, in 2007, the total cost for food increased by over 40 per cent.This phenomenon, as a result, has led to, “the poor and the powerless finding it much more difficult to put food on the table,” he added.But, in order to address this problem at the local level,Cheap Wholesale Jerseys, Welch said, Government has become involved in the implementation of a US$ 21.9 M agriculture export diversification programme. In addition to this, he said, there has been the implementation of a US$6 M global enterprise and an agriculture development programme, as well as increased investment to improve drainage and irrigation infrastructure.Efforts have also been made to network with farmers to the tune of US$5M. Thus farmers can now improve their operations in terms of productivity, and are better able to manage and maintain the infrastructure, since they are a crucial part of the process.He pointed out that there is need to transfer technology to farmers to ensure that there is availability of the right variety of seeds and products to enhance farming capabilities in the face of the challenges of global warming, hence the need for more expert minds to be drawn into the field of agriculture.
