01 / The purpose
Food resilience starts with people
CaribVista proposes a locally led programme that connects land assessment, practical training, food production and transparent monitoring. The immediate task is to test that programme on an agreed pilot site.
- 01Grow useful food
- 02Reach households
- 03Measure access
01
The outcome we are working towards
The long-term ambition is to reduce hunger and improve reliable access to nutritious food. A farm programme contributes only if households can afford or receive its produce. Production, prices, distribution and household outcomes must therefore be measured together.
Domestic production and trade can complement one another. The pilot should select crops and customers where local production can offer reliable value, while retaining a realistic comparison with imported food and existing local suppliers.
02
A practical division of work
Local farmers and agronomists lead cultivation. Landowners and public authorities resolve access and permissions. Buyers and community organisations shape distribution. CaribVista contributes research, training materials, data tools and reporting.
Satellite observations can support site screening and monitoring. They cannot establish ownership, diagnose every crop problem or replace field supervision.
