A new soil map for Trinidad and Tobago — said to be the first since 1962 — is set to play a pivotal role in advancing sustainable agriculture and reducing the national food import bill.
The initiative was launched to mark the first anniversary of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between YARA/Tringen and The University of the West Indies (UWI). The event took place at Tringen’s Point Lisas facilities last week.
Dean of the Faculty of Food and Agriculture, Professor Mark Wuddivira, said the updated soil map would be an essential tool in improving land management and guiding future agricultural development.
