Abstract
Provide an analysis of the critical challenges, barriers, and limitations to achieving climate resilience in the agri-food sector in the Caribbean region. Limitations in knowledge management and communication throughout the agri-food value chain are identified, along with the lack of policies, financing, social inclusion mechanisms, and other key factors that hinder the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices. Additionally, the importance of traditional ecological knowledge and agricultural practices for transitioning towards climate-resilient farming is emphasized. Furthermore, it highlights the insufficiency of existing financing mechanisms for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the agricultural sector, and the need to reduce financial risks for small-scale farmers. As a final result, some recommendations are identified to develop climate-sensitive and resilient agriculture in the Caribbean region.
