Project Description:

This project will address the excessive use of toxic chemicals and harmful GMOs in the food production processes which adversely impact the environment and human health.
The goal is to increase the use of healthy, organically grown foods by the population of Saint Lucia while the objectives are to: (i) improve consumer knowledge of the impacts of unhealthy products and the benefits of consuming organically grown foods; (ii) grow the market for locally grown organic products; (iii) Improve regulatory framework through research, standard development and testing; (iv) Facilitate/coordinate establishment of organic input supply network; and (v) pursue the development and approval of a multi-sectorial organic supply and consumption policy.
This project will approach Chemicals and Food/Nutritional Security from the demand side which will complement the supply side which has been the focus of most projects till now.
