[@Abbystarrrrr]

This man is speaking the truth!!!!! Agriculture is the KEYYYY. Not only will it help the economy tremendously BUT ALSO OUR HEALTH!!!!

[@Bushman1083]

Government give this call and give him what he wants and needs to improve Trinidad and Tobago food production and eliminate unnecessary food imports.

[@patrickadams1419]

That's the first thing that comes to the average Trini mind, Gov't do this Gov't do that, instead of private sector see an opportunity and run with it. Wake up my people.

Ladies and gentlemen you were privileged to attend this informal lecture on food security, crop diversification and a comparative analysis on two agricultural techniques. Please take heed of the information that was freely disseminated .

[@carolyeeken6071]

This is sensational. God be with you. A man who has a garden like this, must life for God.

[@isac0014]

Thats amazing for just one acre.

[@warkal868]

Best seasoning in the country. Quality goods. As a market vendor, who buys from him, very peaceful, kind, caring, loving person who cares for any and everyone! To this day, you enter through his field, you see and smell the quality seasonings. Truly amazing every time I go. Godbless.

[@carolking8835]

Informative geographic video with the focus on farming and our food production. A great reminder to keep T&T healthy through food and green spaces and economically viable by buying local. Nice 🌴🌴🌅🌅

[@invisableangel80]

Mr. Sikumar u are a boss 💥

[@lisaboucaud-bramble]

I can only imagine the aroma of that garden 😍

[@hemaleite6331]

Well said. I remembered Agriculture’s classes.my parents grew rice and most veggies and fruits. And I inherited my mom love for gardening. My mother will dug a hole and made out the plant in and she would say this is yours to care for. As a child its encouraging to think you have to care for this plant that will eventually grow and have fruits. It gives a child responsibility to care and to see a plant grow.

[@josephfrederick9069]

Agriculture should be the backbone , the spine of the country, oil has made us weak

[@rasjahnai1076]

watching from the British Virgin Islands. Boy you Inspire Meeee!!!!

[@magzpatience]

Actually about to construct my own little grow box garden in my yard. Will definitely check this guy out!

[@sharonhanna6783]

Yes I remember in my school days we used to have a great garden growing and we used to get to take it home when it was good

[@Alabanza.Musicversity]

I hardly buy imported food, love supporting local agriculture. It gives us the nutrition for our climate and helps build the immunity we need. He is absolutely right about education. The MOE saw it fit to eliminate Agriculture in schools and some schools do everything else but show children how to nurture and value nature. I remember asking preschool kids about local fruits and they said grapes and apples. Sad... My toddler eats mainly local foods like watercress, microgreens, Moruga brown rice, caraille, avicado, coconut oil etc. sapodilla and other local fruits. We need to educate parents AND children through our communities and teachers need to take thr initiative outside of what the curriculum sets forth to help create healthier brains and bodies. You are what you eat!

[@jonerikmedina1662]

Grow box allows you to plant a lot more

[@harolddottin10]

You deserve to be successful MR Sikumar ,just by your Jokester and bubbly personality. Cmon Mr Govt heed this olive branch call.

[@leselle777]

[@pearlgarcia4450]

This is so true what this guy is saying here, all kids did agri at school long ago they should bring this back.

[@stephanielopez6528]

Love gardening....I do little bit in pots ....just got almost 2 pounds of ginger...come on board you bored trinis....plant up de place...love from Stephanie..across from macoya

[@desmondburnett9286]

People, we have enough rain fall in trinidad and tobago to do water harvesting and stop relying on wasa for a hook up. In addition, to keep water temperature stable, you can sink the tanks partial in the ground.

[@junecox8274]

Thanks I have tomatoes not much but I'm my pots more people need to plant pimentoes don't have a big yard I love it

[@Bushman1083]

Keep up planting your own what ever you can.

[@risharoop2092]

This guy is fun work smart play hard ...very knowledgeable..

[@irmacheckley7373]

Very good idea. I admire your enthusiasm,however on my stay in T&T during the pandemic lockdown Iwas unable to obtain seeds for home gardening.The plants seedlings at the garden shops were fragile expensive and broken by the time you got home.I had to look abroad or beg around for seeds or plants.When will my people learn.

[@nadiaportillo1321]

[@kenmasonj4812]

Please tell Trinidad ***(GOVERNMENT)***, that Trinidad should be able GROW its OWN FOOD. Trinidad has a Naturally Hot climate to GROW it's own FOOD, and not have to Depend on getting Food from OUTSIDE sources! This will make Trinidad, MORE INDEPENDENT!

[@nylamillet1152]

Lizernie Millet using my Daughter's account. I will like to get some information about growing tomatoes, lettuce, sorrel, rosemary, chive, fine thyme, spanish thyme and maybe carrots and cabbage to in my back yard. I am a single Mum always interested in doing this and will appreciate any advice to start this venture of agriculture. This will be a fun adventure for me. Thanking you so much to see this video.

[@sweetredsrecipes601]

[@lenzomaru]

He's taking about the 4H clubs they are still active in schools..but not at the level that it was in the past.

[@Alabanza.Musicversity]

It shouldn't even have been clubs, it should have been in the curriculum for all just like they make Primary school teachers teach everything else like Arts and Spanish!

[@islandgirl3330]

My only question. Do you get a lot of snakes in the farms like this in the country? How do you handle that? This would be my problem. I hate snakes and lizards. I agree with you. As a child, there were different trees bearing fruit in our yard. After we rebuilt a much larger house and had to cut all the trees down with very little yard left, we had bananas, tomatoes and cassava. I still have a little herb garden and tomatoes on the rooftop in my building during the summer. I have noticed that Jamaicans are more into farming than Trinidad. You better write the government if you need land. I doubt they will give you all that land. You have to share with 9 others.

[@julienarine8732]

I would like to know what is it you put in the water to water the plants that blue like that so I could do the same with my vegetables?,?

[@small-timegarden]

...and amen!😀

[@krissiberry9087]

Wonderful!

[@Fishingwithjaggie]

How about instead of using nutrient( salts) you use dry amendments which is organic?

I want to learn how to grow fine time

Agriculture got fired like the central bank governor although much needed. The man have to beg to feed the nation healthy food and save tax payers millions . Respect to these workers.

[@4nillier]

Do natural. Too much chemical boi. Blue water??? ,🤔😂😂

[@lenzomaru]

Yea sure, but are consumers willing to pay organic price?

[@sandrasandy9171]

True.. What blue water is this?

[@Alabanza.Musicversity]

@@lenzomaru I often wonder why "organic" which is the natural way, is more expensive. Eg. Brown rice (natural statr) vs white rice, yet still we have to pay almost 3 times more for brown rice. Hydroponics has allowed for more organic vegetables. Does it really cost more or is it the market that determines it should based on demand being less? I would love to know!

[@MyStudio-io3so]

For the govt to call him into a board meeting, he will first have to learn how to speak English first. Otherwise how will they understand what he is saying.
