iEARN Trinidad and Tobago International Projects: Bringing Distant Cultures Within Reach

Project Outline


Participants are invite to explore the link between Mathematics and Agriculture in a global setting, reaching out to individual countries, communities and students, as they search for the difference between the Food Producing and the Food Importing Countries of the world, and it’s effects on their economies.

Variables that can improve production in some countries, seasons and duration, measurements of growth in relation to time and recording of activities.

How can we improve the economies and reduce the costs of food in the less developed countries?

How can we reduce cost of food in communities and families?

Through this project students will become aware of the possibility of a career in agriculture, the effects of food shortage in the world, effects of famine, and will understand the value of organic farming, the use of locally produced crops; and, likewise, hope to see an increase in home gardening to reduce food bills of the family.
