FAO launches regional agricultural project

The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has launched a regional agricultural project that is aimed at promoting and encouraging the use of climate-smart technologies in viable agricultural value chains.

The "Gender Responsive Climate-Smart Agriculture and Food Systems in the Caribbean" project is being undertaken in partnership with the Canadian government and will run until December 2028.

It will focus on climate change, youth, and gender constraints in value chains and build capacity so that all actors benefit from increased market access and increased incomes.

The project will be implemented by the FAO in collaboration with the Ministries of Agriculture in Belize, Grenada, Dominica, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Lucia, Suriname, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
