KINGSTON, Jamaica — Over the next years, climate change is expected to worsen improvements in food security and agricultural development.
In recent years farmers and fishers have felt the crippling impacts of climate change on their livelihoods and food production. Jamaica’s food security and agricultural development are heavily dependent on the country’s capacity to respond to the impacts posed by climate change, which has led to the formation of several institutional plans and activities to assist in mitigating and adapting to these impacts.
Fourteen agriculture and fisheries experts have now met to develop a new National Agriculture Disaster Risk Management (ADRM) Strategy and Plan during a workshop held from March 13-14, 2019 in Kingston, Jamaica.
