Episode Details

Dragon fruit is blooming big along Guyana’s Linden-Soesdyke Highway, turning a once-fanciful crop into a thriving rural business. Backed by the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, farmers are getting plants, fertilizer, training, and hands-on mentorship — proving that success isn’t just about seeds, but knowledge. With early harvests already boosting incomes and new blossoms appearing across farms, this initiative is reshaping Guyana’s agriculture by diversifying crops, opening new markets, and creating jobs. The return of an international expert and expansion to St. Cuthbert’s Mission show how collaboration and innovation can turn bold ideas into sustainable livelihoods — even in changing climates and markets.
