1. Love to see agriculture getting the respect it deserves.

2. Wonderful

3. Will the programs be available to current students or just new intakes?

4. Is there a focus on sustainable farming practices in the curriculum?

5. I am so happy we are finally moving in the right direction when it come to food security and agriculture. The Chinese proverbs says, One cannot become useful without being educated. Literally, this old saying means “If a jade is not cut and polished, it can’t be made into anything.” So, training and discipline are necessary to bring up children properly.
   “If your plan is for one year, plant rice; if your plan is for ten years, plant trees; if your plan is for one hundred years, educate children.”
   You know I’ve been to CMC to buy fertilizers and other pestcontrol products. And I was surprised that the workers there are not knowledgable about the products they are selling. And with the little bit that I know, I can tell you there is some dangerous shit in that store. First of all the labels in the bottle are all printed with the warning sign “dangerous” on them. So why is the government allowing people to work in an environment that they have no formal training for. If I were the suppliers I would insist that person involved in the handling of my products be trained and certified, because afterall they can also be held accountable should any of these products cause harm to people’s health. Think of the time when contractors used to work with ‘asbestos’. They didn’t know better. But today many are suffering and dying of cancer. I think the health inspector should pay a visit their.
   People that are selling certain products should be trained and certified about the products. You cannot have someone in a pharmacy giving our medication and they have no clue about the medication they sell. People would be dying for taking the wrong medication.
   Well these chemicals that are being sold at CMC should have the same restriction as to who can sell them.
   I’m glad that the good Dr. mentioned that the school would also focus on Pest Control. It will give us trained individuals in these products. And most of all we will get educated farmers and no school dropouts that think farming is as easy as putting a seed in the ground and wait for it to grow.
   Way to go government.
