This feature highlights the value of both traditional
(longstanding) and innovative methods of farming in the
Caribbean, as well as the benefit of understanding current
practices and systems to support a more resilient farm
sector. It identifies what can be considered ‘traditional
knowledge’ in current farming systems and practices,
advances in technology and innovation that are available
and being adopted by farmers, and gaps that need to be
filled to meet present and future environmental, social
and economic realities for food production in the Region.
