Efforts in this area will focus on several aspects
including:

• The breeding, selection and production of animals such as buffalo, cattle, sheep, goats, rabbits and fissh. It should be noted that the focus will be on species such as the ruminants and rabbits which can be sustained from grass (a renewable local resource);
  
  
• Enhancing reproductive management of the aforementioned animals;
  
  
• Alternative feed/forage sources, based on the utilisation of locally produced starches as an energy source;
  
  
• Alternative vegetable production systems geared towards the year-round production of traditionally consumed vegetables and the production of vegetables such as carrots and onions which are not normally grown in
  Trinidad and Tobago;
  
  
• Product development and processing technologies related to carbohydrates, milk, meat, fruits and vegetables; and
  
  
• Vertical integration of primary production and processing as a strategy for sustainable development of local agriculture.
