It is by no means uncommon for slogans and undertakings linked to important landmark events in the Caribbean to count for little in terms of actualization of stated objectives. That said, this year’s Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA) will evoke, for the governments and peoples of the region, the acute nature of the challenges which agriculture faces. Truth be told, agriculture continues to severely test Caribbean governments in terms of their ability to keep their word on undertakings that count for much in the context of the development of the region.
Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA) will be staged during the period October 9-13 and if nothing else, the commemorative event will provide the region with a timely reminder, that with the food security of some CARICOM member countries currently hanging in a precarious balance, it is incumbent upon the region to ensure that CWA 2023 count for much more than ritual and rhetoric.
