Twenty-nine Belizeans Return from Colombia with Certificates in Technical Agriculture Studies

Twenty-nine Belizean farmers and agriculture students returned home today after spending the last eighty-four days in Colombia in Technical Agriculture Studies. All twenty-nine graduated from the program. Noemi Romero is an agriculture student who hails from San Pedro Columbia Village, Toledo. She is enlisted in agriculture studies at the Central Farm campus and told News Five upon her return that they engaged in horticulture, pig production, cattle-rearing, and bio-fertilizers and that she now has the know-how to properly manage her own farm and to assist others in the field.

Noemi Romero, Completed Technical Agriculture Studies

“Coming back to the country, I am willing to share with other farmers within the agriculture system. I’m also looking forward to offer my knowledge to probably extension services or something within the ministry in the hole that we can make a difference within our agriculture sector. I had little experience in some form of bio-fertilizers but now I have gained a lot more experience in bio-fertilizers and how we can make it very simple for our famers to apply within their farms and within their home gardens that they are doing.”
