The government of St. Lucia has announced a new partnership with the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) aimed at boosting regional agriculture and reducing the nation’s reliance on food imports. In a statement, officials emphasized that cooperation is essential to promote innovative, science-based techniques in the sector, with a particular focus on making agriculture more attractive to the next generation. The initiative is expected to strengthen food security and economic resilience, addressing a long-standing challenge for the Caribbean island. By leveraging IICA’s expertise, St. Lucia hopes to modernize farming practices and inspire young people to pursue careers in agriculture.
