CARIBVISTA LAND TRUST // ESG & IMPACT ALIGNMENT

Impact-First Agriculture

CaribVista is built around measurable social and environmental impact, aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals, ESG frameworks, and CARICOM regional commitments. Every metric is traceable to satellite data or published research.

UN SDGsESG FRAMEWORKPARIS AGREEMENTSENDAI FRAMEWORKSAMOA PATHWAYCARICOM 25x2030
UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Aligned with 8 SDGs

CaribVista directly contributes to 8 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, with SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) as the primary mission objective.

1
SDG 1: No Poverty

Creates stable income for rural farming families through employment in satellite-optimized agriculture. Smallholder cooperatives retain profit share.

1.4Equal rights to economic resources, land, technology, and financial services
2
SDG 2: Zero Hunger
PRIMARY MISSION GOAL

Primary mission. The Caribbean imports 85% of food consumed. CaribVista activates 543,000 hectares of idle farmland to produce food locally, reducing dependency on volatile global supply chains.

2.1End hunger and ensure access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food
2.3Double agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers
2.4Ensure sustainable food production systems and resilient practices
2.aIncrease investment in rural infrastructure and agricultural research & technology
5
SDG 5: Gender Equality

Employment practices prioritize women farmers who represent a significant but underserved segment of Caribbean agriculture. Equal pay, equal access to training and cooperative membership.

5.aEqual rights to economic resources and access to ownership of land and agricultural resources
8
SDG 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth

Full activation of 543,000 hectares of idle Caribbean farmland creates an estimated 2.1 million jobs across 8 CARICOM countries. Fair wages start at BBD $10.50/hr (Barbados minimum).

8.5Full and productive employment and decent work for all
8.3Promote development-oriented policies that support productive activities and decent job creation
12
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption & Production

Satellite-optimized harvest timing reduces post-harvest food waste. Precision agriculture minimizes chemical inputs. Local production eliminates long-haul shipping emissions.

12.3Halve per capita global food waste and reduce food losses along production and supply chains
13
SDG 13: Climate Action

Climate-smart agriculture adapted to Caribbean conditions. Agroforestry zones sequester carbon. Satellite monitoring detects climate stress before crop failure. Hurricane damage assessment within 48 hours.

13.1Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters
13.2Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies, and planning
15
SDG 15: Life on Land

Native forest pixels are permanently locked as protected in all activation models. CaribVista provenance engine traces every pixel's land-use history to prevent deforestation. Only idle grassland and fallow cropland are activated.

15.3Combat desertification, restore degraded land and soil
15.5Reduce degradation of natural habitats, halt biodiversity loss
17
SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals

Multi-stakeholder model uniting development finance (CDB), national governments, private sector technology (IAGRO SAT), farmer cooperatives, and international organizations. Regional inter-island food trade network.

17.17Encourage and promote effective public, public-private, and civil society partnerships

REGIONAL COMMITMENTS

CARICOM Food Security Agenda

CaribVista directly supports CARICOM's most ambitious food sovereignty targets. These are not aspirational -- they are policy mandates with deadlines.

CARICOM HEADS OF GOVERNMENT
Vision 25 by 2030
ACTIVE TARGET
25%
Reduction in the region's $6B+ food import bill by 2030
CARICOM Heads of Government committed to reducing the region's food import bill by 25% by 2030. CaribVista directly contributes to this target by converting idle farmland into productive agriculture across 8 member states. At full scale, CaribVista's $1.18B in potential import savings represents approximately 20% of the target on its own.

Food Security Initiative
57% COMPLETE
24%
Regional food production increase already achieved (2022-2024)
The CARICOM Food Security Initiative, originally launched in response to COVID-19 supply chain disruptions, has been extended to 2030. At mid-term review, 57% of targets have been reached, with a 24% increase in regional food production between 2022 and 2024. CaribVista's satellite-guided approach accelerates the remaining 43% by identifying and activating the most productive idle land first.

Families Hungry
No family in the Caribbean should go hungry. The Caribbean has the land, the climate, and the people. What has been missing is the intelligence layer to activate idle resources at scale. That is what CaribVista provides.
FULL TRACEABILITY

Every metric is traceable to satellite data or published research.

SDG targets reference official UN identifiers. Impact numbers are derived from satellite census data processed through Google Earth Engine. CARICOM figures are from published mid-term reviews. Nothing is fabricated.
