Full story

Roseau Combined School took first place in the third Agri-Innovation Competition organized by the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture's delegation in Saint Lucia. The winning project examined the use of soaked banana peels in crop production. It treated leftover plant material as a possible input for growers rather than a waste product. The competition was held in Odsan, Castries, as part of the Ministry of Agriculture's World Food Day program. The St. Lucia Times report did not name the students or teachers behind the entry. It also gave no crop type, treatment method, or experimental results for the proposal. The account gives no indication that the method has moved beyond the competition into commercial farming.
