The project, implemented by IICA in collaboration with national Ministries of Agriculture and CARDI, is funded through the Benefit-sharing Fund of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, facilitated by FAO and co-funded by the European Union.
Through this initiative, participants are better equipped to identify local genetic resources and support farmers in preserving high-performing, climate-resilient varieties strengthening food and nutrition security across the Caribbean.
