Agriculture In the Bahamas

Agriculture In The Bahamas is the first and only comprehensive study of the nature and development of Bahamian agriculture. It deals thoroughly with the policies determining the course of agriculture from colonial times to the present,and independently assesses the value of indigenous practices. As a result, it details both the economic and social consequences of current and past agricultural policies, and takes a serious look at the future of agriculture in The Bahamas.William John Godfrey Eneas is superbly qualified to write this story. Born in Nassau, Bahamas, he spent fourteen year with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, leaving as Director in 1982 to pursue a career in the private sector wherehe has been equally successful.Mr. Eneas is a graduate of Tuskegee University (B.Sc. in Horticulture), the University of the West Indies (post-graduate Diploma in Tropical Agriculture), the University of Wisconsin (M.Sc.) and the University of Reading in England (post-graduate studies in Agricultural Economics). He has been honoured with many awards for his services to agriculture and continues to serve the community with contributions to newspaper, radio and television. Mr. Eneas has also authored The New Caribbean, A Region In Transition, an in-depth study on the decline of agriculture and the ascendancy of services within the framework of the Caribbean region becoming a global tourism destination and financial services center.
