St Kitts and Nevis: The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Marine Resources and Cooperatives is all set to celebrate World Food Day 2022. St Kitts and Nevis will celebrate the day with several weeks of activities under the theme” Leave no one behind”.
The activities will be started on Saturday, October 15, 2022, and conclude on Sunday, October 23, 2022. The aim of the theme is to provide access to food and basic meal to every citizen of the twin-island Federation.
This week the Ministry of Agriculture of St Kitts witnessed the true definition of an all-hands-on-deck approach to achieving food security as the staff at the Department of Agriculture came together to unload two large containers of feed.
The men and women took time from their daily routine to scoop, lift and transport more than 1500 bags of feed weighing 50lbs each, after experiencing technical difficulties during the offloading process.
These unforeseen circumstances can sometimes lead to major delays and prevent farmers from getting feed for their animals on time.
