    Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines areexperiencing drastic changes in their agro-food systems, which stem fromhigh demand for, and dependency on, imported food and food products.Although the food and agriculture sector was traditionally a maincontributor to economic development, agricultural production hassignificantly declined over the past two decades. Growing consumption ofcommercial food comes at the expense of local and traditional staples, suchas fruits, vegetables and legumes, which has been linked to decliningagricultural production in and around homes. Imported foods are heavilyprocessed and high in salt, sugar and fat. Moreover, correlations betweenincreasing imports of processed food and nutrition-related diseases inthe Caribbean have been observed. The region also has the highestmortality rates caused by non-communicable disease and the highestobesity rate in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region.In response, this project aimed to establish special programmes forsmall-scale, backyard and school gardens to improve food availability andhealthy eating habits and empower women and youth.
