    Trends in Caribbean policy positions on agriculture are indicating a new urgency to pursue actions for greater contributions of the sector to self-ufficiency in food and nutrition security for the sub-region, in mainstreaming disaster risk management into strategies for sustainable agriculture and natural resources and in the creation of functional food safety and sanitary and phytosanitary systems that reduce risks and facilitates intra-regional markets and external export markets.These policy positions in Caribbean agriculture fit well within the Sub-regional Medium Term Priorities for the Latin American and Caribbean region as agreed to by the FAO Regional Conference of Ministers of Agriculture in 2010. These same policy positions are also reflected in the cooperative actions between the sub-region and the wider Caribbean as well as in the strategic actions at the level of bilateral cooperation between the respective Governments of the sub-region and the FAO. Against this background the SMPTF for the Caribbean has selected for adoption the Medium Term Priorities of the Conference that address climate change and climate variability, food and nutrition security and plant and animal health and food safety for FAO technical assistance during the next four years.In line with the above the SMPTF presents a program of cooperation which is expected to strengthen national data management and information capacities to share knowledge and implement disaster risk management strategies and other effective measures for adaptation and mitigation of the impact of climate change and climate variability on the ecological stability of land for agriculture, watersheds and the marine fisheries.
