Under the guidance of Agriculture teacher Mr. Horace Forbes, students at Arthur’s Town Comprehensive School cleared nearly a half acre for the ATCS Sustainable Farm. The Farm is designed to increase the Cat Island growing season, bring fresh produce to Cat island and introduce students to new technology through solar powered drip irrigation systems. The project is being financed by a generous grant from the UNDP Global Environment Fund’s Small Grants Program
