Article - Agriculture opens new doors for young Jamaicans


The UNDP posted a story about their work in Kingston, Jamaica, where they gave training to young and unemployed women and men in the poorer parts of Jamaica to increase their agriculture and food production skills to boost their job opportunities in local farming and agro-industries.


'(...) the young people have learned how to process fruit and vegetable juice, herbs and ginger powder to produce dried fruit, jams, sorrel, meat and honey. "This project provides not only technical knowledge and training, but facilities and equipment that would have been difficult or impossible for them to do otherwise,” said Machel Stewart, UNDP Poverty Programme Advisor.'

The project is a collaboration of the UNDP with with the National Centre for Youth Development, the Rural Agricultural Development Authority and national youth organizations. It is implemented by Jamaica’s Scientific Research Council and funded by UNDP and the United States Agency for International Development
