The agriculture and education ministries are joining forces to expand the school greenhouse programme, with plans to add 13 more structures to embed agriculture more deeply into the education system, Minister of Agriculture Dr Shantal Munro-Knight announced on Friday.

The initiative, to begin in the new school year, will see students becoming more involved in the development of the greenhouses, rather than simply benefiting from completed projects

Dr Munro-Knight revealed the plans as a month-long agriculture summer camp, involving more than 20 students, ended.
