Due to the heat, Radgman stated at yesterday’s demonstration that farmers were very dehydrated and were continuously in need of water to do their days tasks. Former Dean of the Faculty of Food and Agriculture in the University of the West Indies Professor Wayne Ganpat, stated the island’s shifting atmospheric weather is causing a crisis of drought and excessive heat, changing things in the agriculture sector.
