PM School’s agriculture programme attracts regional attention

ST. JOHN’S, Antigua - The formula being used to establish the thriving agriculture programme at the Princess Margaret Secondary School (PMS), is to be used as a module for other schools across the region. That’s the word from head of the school’s Agricultural Science Department Craig Cole, who announced yesterday that a policy document is now being drafted for submission to the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO). The document will act as a guide for other territories to develop Good Agricultural Practices (GAPS) within the school system. The idea was birthed out of a meeting with an FAO official.
