CJ’s food for thought

THE BARBADOS COAST Guard is setting the example the rest of Barbados should follow, says Chief Justice  Sir Marston Gibson.
Speaking yesterday evening at the first Barbados Defence Force (BDF) recruit intake  of the year at the Paragon Base, Christ Church,  Sir Marston cited the Coast Guard’s practice  of growing food  as being supportive  of national security.
“If we can grow our  own food then we will  not be at the mercy  of those who grow food  for us outside Barbados,”?he said. “For that reason  I want to congratulate the military of Barbados and especially the Barbados Coast Guard for taking the lead in producing  the food it uses.”  
Sir Marston said food security was important for other reasons as well, such as with foreign exchange.  (CA)
