Ministry of Agriculture Celebrates Resa B. Nelson as Antigua and Barbuda’s Newest Rhodes Scholar
The Ministry of Agriculture has extended warm congratulations to Resa B. Nelson, the country’s newest Rhodes Scholar, recognizing her as a trailblazing young scientist whose work is shaping innovation in the Caribbean.
Nelson’s journey from Antigua and Barbuda to Hofstra University and now to the University of Oxford reflects her dedication, academic excellence, and fearless curiosity. Her research, which focuses on turning sargassum into renewable energy and other value-added products, is a groundbreaking example of how science and environmental stewardship can intersect with sustainable development.
While her work may not fall under traditional agriculture, the Ministry noted that it aligns closely with Antigua and Barbuda’s broader goals in agro-processing, environmental innovation, and the transformation of natural resources into economic opportunities
Resa represents the best of the nation’s youth: focused, self-driven, unafraid to tackle complex problems, and committed to solutions that benefit communities far beyond herself.
Her achievement underscores the potential of Caribbean youth to lead on global stages through original research and regionally centered innovation. The Ministry of Agriculture emphasized that Nelson’s success serves as a reminder that the future of science, environmental management, and sustainable industries in Antigua and Barbuda will be shaped by bright minds like hers.
Officials expressed pride in Nelson’s accomplishment and optimism that her work will continue to inspire the next generation of Antiguan and Barbudan innovators.

Ben’s Bowl at Dōgon
Washington, D.C.

The chef Kwame Onwuachi is known for bringing a sense of place to the plate that goes beyond ingredients to plumb into history and how a city shapes its people. Here he tips his hat to Ben Ali, the Trinidad-born founder of Ben’s Chili Bowl, a chain that got its start on U Street in 1958 serving half-smokes draped in chili. In Mr. Onwuachi’s homage, lamb shoulder is braised past resistance in a crush of curry spices and chicken stock, then picked warm and whipped until the fats turn to velvet. Flattened and crisped, it’s an astonishment of density and richness. ($32) LIGAYA MISHAN

Belize Builds Caribbean’s First Sugar Refinery
Construction of the Caribbean’s first sugar refinery is well on its way and with it Belize is set to take a major step up the regional sugar value chain. A forty-million-dollar investment by U.S. based SUCRO Sourcing is being channeled through Santander Sugar to establish the Caribbean Sugar Refinery, a project that is already under construction and expected to become operational by April 2026. Once completed, the refinery will allow Belize to move beyond exporting primarily raw sugar, plantation white and brown and into the production of refined sugar, a product that Belize and several CARICOM states currently import. The investment agreement materialized during the Belize Investment Summit and was endorsed by CARICOM, through its Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED). It boosts regional production, value-added manufacturing and reduced dependence on extra-regional imports
