The previous article describes a program started by the Government and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) that involves teaching young Jamaicans methods in order to cultivate their own food. By doing this, young Jamaicans learn valuable skills that allow them to overcome the perils of hunger. Without having to worry about when their next meal will come, Jamaican teenagers can focus on their careers, typically involving agriculture.
After reading this article, I was reminiscent of what was discussed in class pertaining to the Agricultural Revolution. I think that it is outstanding how something that has happened numerous times throughout history can still occur in this modern era. Although most present-day societies are postindustrial societies, certain areas in countries like Jamaica are still in an agricultural revolution "stage." The UNDP is not only helping Jamaican teens struggling to succeed, but also fueling a modern-day agricultural revolution.
As a result, more jobs will come out of this new advance, and, perhaps, steer much of Jamaican society into a more technologically-advanced generation.
