Efficient Low-Cost Irrigation and Water Saving Techniques for Increasing Crop Production

Dr. Chaney St. Martin, International Specialist in Soil and Water Management with IICA's Agricultural Climate Action and Sustainability Program explains the vision of transforming towards a mote climate responsive regional agriculture in the Caribbean through 1. Take Note that Global temperatures- human-induced climate change, already increased by 1° C, threatening reliability of agriculture as a development pillar; 2. Take Into Account that With the 1°C increase the Caribbean is already incurring considerable costs to adapt to climate impacts, which often exceed their financial capacity and 3. Take Regional Action by building an evidence-based agriculture sector that can be sustainably financed to build food, nutrition, and livelihood security along a low-carbon/resilient developmental paradigm. Dr. St. Martin goes on to highlight one of the actions that IICA has taken through the implementation of an agriculture readiness project titled “Strengthening the foundation for a climate responsive agricultural sector in the Caribbean” which was funded by the GCF and implemented in nine (9) CARICOM countries (Bahamas, Belize, Dominica, Haiti, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Suriname, and Trinidad & Tobago).
