Young Farmers ProjectThe Young Farmers Project (YFP) was initiated in 1994 and was aimed initially at young farmers in the Cumana area who were already involved in agriculture. The focus was on providing equipment and know-how to enable them to increase production capacity and orient their production along commercial lines. The YFP has subsequently directed its attention more towards organic farming and animal husbandry. Has completed the building structure for a Farmer's Training Institute and Wild Life Centre – Assisted by JB Fernandes Memorial Trust; Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) Telefood Project, as well as, the Ministry of Agriculture Land and Marine Resources and the University of the West Indies Agricultural Science Department.
