Department Head, Linda Prokopy, spent the last 2 weeks in Trinidad visiting horticultural farms and training staff at the Ministry of Agriculture about how to increase farmer adoption of improved agricultural practices. This was part of Purdue’s USAID funded farmer-to-farmer program led by HLA’s Dr. Raghothama. She saw crops we’re all familiar with like watermelon and sweet potatoes in addition to more tropical crops like pineapples and papaya.
