Resumen
Trinidad and Tobago's agriculture sector contributes less than 1% to GDP and employs an average of 3% of the labour force, resulting in high food import bills. The sector has shifted towards crop types such as vegetables, root crops, fruit, and rice, as well as coconut and livestock types such as poultry, pig, and cattle. The country's policy and strategic framework for addressing the climate challenge in the agricultural sector needs improvement. The IICA-GCF Readiness Project aims to strengthen policies, capacities, frameworks, and institutional arrangements for collecting, monitoring, measuring, reporting, verifying, and analyzing agricultural and associated activity data from the sector. The project also aims to increase the number of evidenced-based and bankable projects aligned with regional and national priorities and disseminate best practices for building climate-resilience along prioritized agricultural value chains, with a focus on cultivating the innovative capacity of the region's youth.
