Competition promotes climate-smart agriculture in Eastern Caribbean States
Through a competition entitled ‘Climate Smart Agriculture: Stories from Farmers in the Eastern Caribbean States’, the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) seeks to identify successful cases of climate-smart practices.
Sponsored by IICA and national partners, the competition is open to organizations in Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Participating stories must demonstrate their contribution to the three objectives of climate-smart agriculture: increasing productivity and food security, fostering processes for adapting to climate change, and reducing agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions.
Entries should focus on the resilience aspect of their stories and should document the benefits of increasing the productivity of agricultural systems and of mitigating gas emissions.
