The Antiguan Cabinet has reaffirmed its commitment to national food security, earmarking 75 acres of land for allocation to youth and women farmers, according to Antigua.news.
The initiative signals a continued government focus on strengthening domestic agricultural production while simultaneously creating economic opportunities for younger and female farming communities across the island.
As reported by Antigua.news, the land allocation forms part of a broader food security drive championed by the Cabinet, underscoring the administration's recognition that homegrown agricultural development is central to long-term national resilience.
The targeting of youth and women farmers reflects a deliberate policy direction aimed at diversifying the agricultural workforce and empowering underrepresented groups within the sector.
