DocumentFactsheetPromoting local produce to benefit farmers in Saint Kitts and Nevis- TCP/STK/3501 2017As a net food importing country, Saint Kitts and Nevis is relatively food-insecure and vulnerable to extreme climatic events, as well as to global economic shocks caused by increasing food or energy prices. The Government is seeking to create employment and income-earning opportunities, particularly for women and young people, and is embarking on a path of agricultural renewal to reduce its food import bill. By increasing production and marketing of onions and cole crops (cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower), the present project was designed to contribute to the creation of rural employment opportunities and, by extension the improvement of national food and nutrition security.

ProjectFactsheetStrengthening Local Food Systems (Impacted by COVID-19) by Promoting Climate-Resilient and Sustainable Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture Value Chains - TCP/SOI/3801 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Solomon Islands is comprised of over 1 000 islands with a population that grows at a rate of 2.3 percent annually. In this context, there is a need to ensure that the personal health of the country’s citizens is supported through the consumption of affordable and nutritious food containing vital vitamins and protein, and that these foods are accessible. In 2009, in Solomon Islands, just under 20 percent of the population lived in urban centres. In 2017, this figure had increased to 23.3 percent, with the urban population growing at twice the rate of the rural population. Increased urbanization is accompanied by changing patterns of food consumption with consequent health implications, including a rise in non communicable diseases. Furthermore, climate change and disaster risk management are significant issues given the current and future impacts expected, and the associated risks posed to natural ecosystems such as coastal and marine environments, fisheries, agriculture, water resources, health, biodiversity, infrastructure, and industry. In addition, COVID-19 impacted food production and related food supply chains for food systems in Honiara and the provinces. In these circumstances, the promotion of local food consumption for healthy diets has been identified as a priority by the government. -
DocumentFactsheetFomento de la producción local para beneficiar a los agricultores en Saint Kitts y Nevis- TCP/STK/3501 2017Dada su condición de importador neto de alimentos, Saint Kittsy Nevises un país relativamente aquejado de inseguridad alimentaria y vulnerable a los fenómenos climatológicos extremos, así como a las crisis económicas mundiales causadas por la disminución de los precios de los alimentos y la energía. El Gobierno está tratando de crear empleo y oportunidades de generación de ingresos, especialmente para las mujeres y los jóvenes, y ha elegido la vía de la renovación agrícola para reducir sus costos totales de las importaciones de los alimentos. Mediante el aumento de la producción y la comercialización de cebollas y coles (repollo, coliflor y brécol), el presente proyecto fue diseñado para contribuir a la creación de oportunidades de empleo ruraly, en consecuencia, la mejora de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional del país.
