BOOK SUMMARY
This Book was developed by the Marketing Unit & Forestry Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Physical Planning, Natural Resources and Co-operative; in collaboration with the OECS Commission. As the world prepares to take on the potential impacts of Climate Change, the department of forestry seeks to restore and stabilize St. Lucia’s slopes and riverbanks through initiating more planting of mango trees.
The ministry seeks to use this recipe book as a tool to aid in the promotion of this climate change resilient measure, in addition to creating public awareness on the vast culinary uses of the fruit. This will aid in the increased consumption of local mangoes and highlight the nutritional benefits of the fruit, thus reducing the wastage of local mangoes.
