More Jamaicans urged to get involved in agricultural activities

Clifford Spencer, Acting Chief Planning Analyst in the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries, is encouraging more Jamaicans to get involved in agricultural activities in order to support the Government's thrust of achieving the country's food security.
 
Speaking at a recent public forum on "Climate Change and the Future of Food Security" at the University of the West Indies, Mona, St. Andrew, Mr. Spencer underscored the need to promote the sustainable production of safe, affordable, nutritious and high quality Jamaican food at competitive market prices.
 
This, he said, is imperative in light of the projected negative effects of climate change on agricultural sustainability.
