    Saint Kitts and Nevis is a net importer of food, although a significant portion of the fresh produce currently importedby the country can be grown locally. The critical food and nutrition situation faced by the country relates to the four pillars of food and nutrition security: availability, access,consumption/utilization and stability. The developmentof sustainable food production systems and theelimination of all forms of malnutrition are the long-termgoal of the Government in this priority area. Government policy is focused on the expansion of urban and peri-urbanagriculture in order to support national social protection programmes aimed at vulnerable pockets of the population. In this context, FAO assistance was requested to increase food access and availability via urban,peri-urban and backyard garden development. The project aimed to strengthen the capacity of DOA inthe training of backyard gardeners, school teachers and students to sustainably produce short-term vegetable crops, and the capacity of backyard gardeners, school teachers and students in both sustainable crop production and the development of good eating habits. These wouldbe achieved through the establishment of two backyard demonstration gardens (BDGs) and two school demonstration gardens (SDGs), one of each in selected communities of Saint Kitts and of Nevis, respectively. In addition, backyard and school gardeners would be trainedin best practices for crop production and their awareness raised of concepts of nutrition and better eating habits.

    The project aimed to tackle the challenges of low income and unemployment among youth and women, specifically within the family farming sector in Grand Bahama and Abaco Island. The sector lacked consistent access to the technology and knowledge needed to develop economic enterprises able to serve national and regional food markets, while promoting local sustainable livelihoods. The MAMR lacked the tools required to deliver adequate training in agricultural practices and agribusiness, and organizational and financial support. The MAMR also had no National Strategy or National Land Administrative Proposal to achieve the rural development goals set out in the SGD 2030.

    The project sought to address three primary challenges faced by the rural agricultural sector in Belize. These were (i) the need for a regional and territorial development mechanism utilizing the food systems approach to include rural small farmers in the national economy, (ii) the need to enhance the capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Enterprise (MAFSE) to provide training and technical assistance to youth and Indigenous women to develop agriculture enterprises and (iii) the need to enable market access for small agribusinesses by leveraging on public market opportunities such as the school feeding programmes through an agribusiness incubation programme.
