Ms. Lydia Browne Browne
It is necessary to scale up agricultural practices through technology and climate smart practices, an effort to attract youths, to achieve food security and sustainability in developing countries and in particular the Caribbean.
There is need to increase the work force in Food and Nutrition. Though there is an increase persons receiving degrees in the area of nutrition and /or Public Health, they are not sufficiently employed/utilized; there is a growing need for work and workers in this sector. Building capacity in the region for conducting impact analysis of nutrition interventions and research in nutrition that would lend support by donor agencies and validate the need for increase workforce.
