St Kitts-Nevis and Trinidad and Tobago joined an integrated, Farm to Fork effort to tackle childhood obesity.
This paper explores how various dimensions of social capital have evolved and been influenced by institutional dynamics in Saint Lucia's domestic agri-food system.
The Farm to Fork model, developed specifically for the Caribbean, resulted in increased income for farmers and improved consistency in food production and supply.
In an effort to reduce obesity, the Farm to Fork project implemented two interventions aimed at primary school children (aged 5-9) and their parents, with menu changes for school lunches and nutrition education for children and parents.
Food security policy in the small island developing states of the Caribbean Community has focused traditionally on commodity-oriented export production rather than production for domestic food markets.
The sessions will be held online July 31 (in English) and August 2 (in French) from 9:00-10:00 am EDT.
