#JamaicaGleaner AUGUST 15, 2022: Some 600 youth farmers, last Thursday, were named beneficiaries of the Strengthening the Adaptive Capacity of Young Farmers and Fisherfolk project, an initiative geared towards offering support to youth in agriculture to combat climate change and natural disasters. The $21-million project, funded by Global Affairs Canada and the Foreign Commonwealth and the Development Office (FCDO) in the United Kingdom, was launched at the Denbigh 4-H Clubs Training and Production Centre, at the Denbigh Agricultural Showground in Clarendon. A pilot project, EnGenDER – Enabling Gender-Responsive Disaster Recovery, Climate and Environmental Resilience – is geared towards affording equal opportunities to farmers.
