According to Miss Gomes, the seminar was very informative, the research, data shared pertaining to seeds and their composition and the various field trips were interesting sections of the experience.\u00a0 Although, this seminar concentrated primarily on feed for aquatic and not terrestrial animals, it would be beneficial for the hydroponic\/aquaponic farms.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, in the developing countries can learn so much more from this type of exposure; the commitment, the hard work, the research, and learn how to capitalize on every aspect in order to reach the optimal goal(s) of whatever project is embarked upon. Additionally, the field visits were eye-openers to me, they made me see how we need to duplicate some of what the Chinese have been doing, what they achieved and now they are sharing it with us. \u00a0We were shown that the development of a nation needs total commitment from all stakeholders inclusive of the policymakers\u201d. Gomes said.<\/p>\n
