In the wake of the recent focus on Caribbean food sufficiency and food security, spearheaded by Guyana and Barbados, agricultural sustainability was reportedly one of the issues at the forefront of recent discussions at the level of the Caribbean Community (Caricom).
It will be recalled that back in May, Guyana hosted its Agri Investment Forum and Expo under the theme ‘Investing in Vision 25 by 2025’ and that this event was followed by the subsequent Barbados Agro Fest. The two events served to trigger a measure of regional chatter about food security and to cause some countries, once again, to put heads together in an effort to take a tilt at what now appears to be a rising region-wide concern.
