Resumen
-
This second issue in the series on ‘The Agriculture, Food and Health Challenge’ comprises three inter-related papers which explore the topics from a Caribbean situation and perspective. Issues relating to the nutrition and health component, the potential for greater food and fuel security from agriculture and the need to place greater emphasis on water-based food production systems, particularly applicable given the foreboding influence of climate change on rising sea levels, are all explored. All papers recognized the limitations of countries acting alone in addressing the challenges posed by the current agriculture, food and health scenario and for greater regional collaboration in order to achieve success.
