The announcement was made by Minister of Agriculture, Vasant Bharat at the 37th anniversary celebration of the National Foodcrop Farmers' Association (NFFA) held at the then Macoya Market. Norris, who was the Education Officer of the NFFA and the leading spokesperson for small farmers, died in February aged 52. Now if we could seriously embark on a programme of building food security with small farmers at the centre, that would be the ultimate honour. Painting of Norris by Rafiki |
