Regional food security and stronger intra-Caribbean trade are among themes that will dominate this year’s Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA), as Agriculture Minister Floyd Green positions the forum as a launchpad for bold action to build a more resilient regional agricultural sector.

“CWA has to be the platform that we are sharing those systems for implementation that we are learning from each other so that we are shortening the time it takes to transform our agricultural systems. Caribbean agriculture must be central to every island's developmental agenda,” Green said.

Speaking on Thursday during the launch of the 20th CWA at the Summit in Kingston, he said that agribusiness growth and climate-smart innovation wouldill also be key on the agenda.
