Helen Persad-Maharaj, manager of the Jaya Laxmi Home, collects vegetables from Food Production Minister Devant Maharaj. The food was produced by the URP. Food production will get a boost when the ministry launches its agriculture program in schools. Only a few schools in the country currently have an agricultural program; the minister wants to change that. Guardian Photo: Shastri Boodan
