No Family in the Caribbean
Should Go Hungry.
CaribVista activates idle farmland across the Caribbean through satellite intelligence. We grow food where none grows today — and give essential food free to every family in need.
The Caribbean Imports 85% of Its Food
While hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile farmland sit idle, Caribbean families pay some of the highest food prices in the world.

The Caribbean Community spends over $6 billion annually importing food that could be grown locally. This capital leaves the region permanently.

Across 8 countries, over half a million hectares of arable land lie fallow. This is enough to feed the entire Caribbean population multiple times over.

Every hurricane season destroys crops and disrupts supply chains. Islands with no local food production face weeks of food insecurity after storms.

Satellite-Guided Food Sovereignty
Four steps from idle land to food on the table. Every step guided by satellite intelligence.
Satellite Census Finds Every Hectare
Using ESA Sentinel-2 imagery at 10-meter resolution, we classify every pixel of land across the Caribbean. Idle grassland, fallow fields, abandoned plantations — all mapped and measured.
Lease Idle Land, Hire Local Farmers
CaribVista negotiates long-term leases on idle land, hires local farmers at living wages, and plants crops suited to each micro-climate. Local people grow local food.
Real-Time Crop Intelligence
IAGRO SAT provides continuous crop health monitoring — NDVI tracking, pest alerts, drought detection, yield forecasts. Every field is watched from orbit.
Free Food for Families in Need
Essential food crops (vegetables, legumes, root crops) are given free to families facing food insecurity. Export crops (sugarcane, tropical fruits) fund ongoing operations.
Real Data. Real Opportunity.

Every aspect of CaribVista maps to the global development agenda.
Creates 2.1M living-wage agricultural jobs across the Caribbean basin.
Essential food distributed free to families in need. Local production replaces imports.
60% of Caribbean smallholder farmers are women. CaribVista prioritizes women-led cooperatives.
300+ farmers employed in Year 1 pilot, scaling to 8,250 in Barbados alone.
Reduces food miles from 5,000+ km imports to local zero-mile production.
Activated farmland sequesters carbon. Satellite MRV enables carbon credit generation.
Native forests permanently protected. Only idle grassland and fallow fields are activated.
Inter-island trade network. Surplus countries feed deficit countries.
From Barbados to the Caribbean
Countries with surplus send food to countries with less. The network feeds itself.

Every hectare activated is a family fed. Every job created is a life changed.
