The project is a comprehensive four-year food security initiative targeting six countries within the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).

Director of Agriculture Keian Stephenson says the project aligns with Dominica’s long-term agricultural goal and will strengthen local food systems.

The national rollout will be led by the 4H program, with Bert Paul serving as National Coordinator and facilitator.
