Organic Farming - A step in the best direction

In my opinion, I believe that the promotion of organic farming is a step in the best direction seeing that an integral part of sustenance for the future is Organic Farming. This method of farming  will yield a host of benefits including making the country self-sufficient and lessen the prominence of lifestyle diseases.  As for the usage or rather abuse of pesticides, which aid in polluting the water table, in addition to the eventual  resistance pests will develop to these chemicals, I also believe in the use of natuaral pesticides.
One particularly powerful natural pesticide is Neem. I'm yet to see pests develop a resistance to it. It is quite bitter and getting some of it on your skin will do you no harm.

Moving back to sustenance for the future. Yields will be of best quality and it's ability to survive out of cold storage is amazing. I personally monitored an alleged "organic" tomato for almost 2 months wondering when or if it would to water (rot-away).  I was pleasantly surprised  when it never did. It just started to show the signs of drying up (still sustaining all the nutritional qualities that it possess when it was plucked from the vine).

As consumers, when our bodies eat organic foods like that tomato, we shall yield the full nutritional value that was intended for our bodies to absorb,grow and use to repair.

Customers who purchase from us, whether it's our own people right here or those markets abroad, they will understand that we understand  the value of their money.

Each one teach one

Welcome

Welcome to my dedication to the health of Trinidad and Tobago. Growing up in this beautiful twin-island state, I don't think that people realised how blessed and protected we are.  One of these blessings is the opportunity to grow our own backyard gardens and raise our own livestock. We are blessed to have or know someone who has a mango tree, a chenette tree, a plum tree, a coconut tree, a cashew tree, and/or many other food giving trees in our/their yards. In addition to the "dasheen patch" (taro root) , "cassava patch"(yucca root) and yam for soup.

Ladies and Gentlemen, friends and family, fellow colleagues, our yards contain a wealth of health. We are living in the middle of a goldmine. Follow me on this journey and learn how to not only cultivate this wealth but also to sustain it for your future generations.
