Landhoo marks Farmers’ Day and World Food Day with tree planting and food exhibition

To celebrate Farmers’ Day and World Food Day, the N. Landhoo Council teamed up with local island institutions to host two special community events.

On October 15, the island launched a tree-planting drive to help boost local food security. Residents gathered to plant fruit-bearing trees in public areas across Landhoo, focusing mainly on breadfruit, sea almond (midhili), and mango trees.

The celebrations continued the following day, October 16, with a food exhibition. Many local residents took part, bringing homemade and value-added food items to showcase. Judges scored the entries in a friendly competition, awarding prizes for first, second, and third place.

Both events were attended by State Minister Ismail Azmee Adhnan as the guest of honour.
