Project Description:

This project is being implemented in a highly vulnerable part of Saint Lucia with a high poverty rate, prone to disasters and made more susceptible due to the agricultural practices used in the past. As a result, the project aims at transitioning farmers to more organic and sustainable agricultural methods which will reduce forms of mass movement and use of toxic chemicals while also increasing market share over time. The project objective are to: (i) establish or transition a minimum of six (6) farms to organic systems; (ii) train a minimum of thirty (30) farmers in organic farming systems using the farmer field school training methodology; (iii) develop a Production and Marketing Information System (PMIS) for organic farming; (iv) identify and develop locally produced organic inputs; and (v) act as a catalyst to develop an Organic Certification System for National implementation within five (5) years
