The Ministry of Agriculture has collaborated with the Inter-American Institution for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) to train a cohort from the Canaries Community Improvement Foundation in drone safety and flying.

The organizations have been collaborating since 2020, to build capacity in the use of vetiver grass as a tool for geoengineering and a product for economic growth.

The drone safety training will prepare members to use drones, recently procured by IICA through the Caribbean Biodiversity Fund, to monitor the use of vetiver as a rehabilitation tool.
