No results found.Aquaculture production by Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries has been around five percent oftotal fish production in recent years. In most Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) aquaculture production is nearly insignificant, and the import of fishand fisheries products has risen by 35 percent in just overa decade. The growing population in the region, as well asa more demanding tourism industry and the ongoing promotion of healthier lifestyles and diets, has increased the demand for healthy, safe and high quality food, including fish and fisheries and aquaculture products. Public and private sector investments are required if the aquaculture sector is to develop in a viable manner inthe Caribbean. The Governments of Antigua and Barbuda,Barbados, Bahamas and Saint Kitts and Nevis assign high priority to the development of the aquaculture sector,and in view of this, requested that FAO provide technical assistance to develop their aquaculture sectors. The project aimed to contribute to more efficient and inclusive food and agricultural systems in the four target countries, through sustainable development and management of the aquaculture sector, and the development of selected value chains. -
Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Subregional Workshop to Promote Sustainable Aquaculture Development in the Small Island Developing States of the Lesser Antilles. Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia, 4-7 November 2002. 2003
Also available in:
No results found.The workshop was organized by the FAO Subregional Office for the Caribbean in collaboration with the Development Planning and Inland Water Resources and Aquaculture Services of the FAO Fisheries Department, Rome. It was hosted by the Government of Saint Lucia, and attended by 15 participants from seven countries, four regional institutions and the FAO Fisheries Department. The syntheses of the national experiences and status of aquaculture development in the Lesser Antilles reflected a signifi cant level of diversity in the scale of activities among the island nations; they also revealed many similarities in the results and present status of aquaculture development in the subregion. The case studies elicited very positive comments and enquiries from the country representatives. In the plenary deliberations, to identify the constraints to and opportunities for developing aquaculture sustainably in the subregion, participants recognized the need to rank the aquaculture development act ivities based on individual country-priorities and stage of development. The workshop agreed that participants would consult with the decision-makers in their respective countries and communicate a priority-list of needs for possible technical assistance to the technical secretary of the workshop. It was also agreed that such a list would be used to identify common themes that could form the basis for a possible subregional Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) project proposal.

After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2022
Repurposing food and agricultural policies to make healthy diets more affordable
2022This year’s report should dispel any lingering doubts that the world is moving backwards in its efforts to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. We are now only eight years away from 2030, but the distance to reach many of the SDG 2 targets is growing wider each year. There are indeed efforts to make progress towards SDG 2, yet they are proving insufficient in the face of a more challenging and uncertain context. The intensification of the major drivers behind recent food insecurity and malnutrition trends (i.e. conflict, climate extremes and economic shocks) combined with the high cost of nutritious foods and growing inequalities will continue to challenge food security and nutrition. This will be the case until agrifood systems are transformed, become more resilient and are delivering lower cost nutritious foods and affordable healthy diets for all, sustainably and inclusively.
