Having already benefitted from funding an expertise to support the creation of scores of shadehouses in communities in Guyana to enable the cultivation of hydroponically grown vegetables, local farmers will be securing further technical help from Partners of the Americas through a visit here by Rutgers University Professor Robin Brumfield, a specialist in farm financial management and greenhouse technology.
During her May 16-30 stay here Dr. Brumfield will conduct training designed to further enhance the efficiency of the hydroponic shadehouse method in farming in Guyana. Dr. Brumfield will work with hydroponic shadehouse vegetable operators from the Inter American Development Bank – funded Hydroponic Shadehouse Vegetable Production and Marketing Project,
