No results found.On 9 April 2021, the La Soufrière volcano in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines erupted with several explosions over a period of several weeks, affecting most of the island's population. Farmers and local communities in the critical areas (red and orange zones) were severely affected by the heavy ash fall and pyroclastic flows, particularly in the areas closest to the volcano in the northern part of the island. In addition to major losses of tools and productive assets, reports showed extensive environmental damage and losses in critical areas, where forests and farms were wiped out, along with the destruction of large areas of staple crops such as vegetables, bananas and plantains. In addition, the eruptions were followed by heavy rains that caused flooding and lahar flows in various parts of the country. As a result, the livelihoods of vulnerable populations dependent on agriculture, livestock, fisheries and forestry were affected. The heavy deposits of volcanic ash throughout the country highlighted the need for soil and ash analysis to determine changes in nutrient composition, organic matter content, macro and micro fauna and pathogen profile, and to assess agro-edaphic and climatic suitability for existing and alternative crops. In response to the recovery and rehabilitation needs, the government prepared a priority list of immediate, medium and long-term responses. Within the priority list, two areas were identified: i) soil analysis, to determine soil rehabilitation, management requirements and value chain suitability determination by agroecological zone; ii) building a cadre of new entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector, including youth and women, and developing resilient value chains. In this context, this TCP aimed to facilitate the recovery of livelihoods and increase the resilience of food systems through the involvement of youth and women in the development of resilient value chains and entrepreneurship, by strengthening the capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture to conduct soil analysis and developing a programme to support new agricultural entrepreneurs.
