Year 10 Geography Visit The World Vegetable Centre
14th June 2017
Our Year 10 Geography students recently visited the World Vegetable Centre to enhance their knowledge in the topic of farming.
The World Vegetable Centre conducts research, builds networks, and carries out training and promotion activities to raise awareness of the role of vegetables for improved health and global poverty alleviation.
Vegetables can alleviate poverty by creating new jobs and new sources of income for farmers and landless laborers, improve health by providing essential micronutrients lacking in diets, enhance learning and working capacities of adults and children through improved diets and health, and improve the sustainability of food production practices by diversifying cropping systems. The Centre’s research and development work focuses on breeding improved vegetable lines, developing and promoting safe production practices, reducing postharvest losses, and improving the nutritional value of vegetables.
Thank you to The World Vegetable Centre for letting us come to visit!
