Agribusiness, farmers, chefs and consumers advocating for local, sustainable food production and consumption

Co-organised by the EU-ACP Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA),
the Caribbean Export Development Agency (CEDA)
and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA)

Agriculture is the economic backbone of a many Caribbean countries, a large number of which also generate significant revenue from tourism. The two productive sectors offer significant opportunities for inclusive economic growth and sustainable development in achieving the SDGs. This panel explored success factors which can be replicated or expanded and innovative partnerships within diverse private sector actors, including chefs, agribusiness and tourism.
