As global supply chains continue to be impacted by the novel coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine, calls have intensified on especially vulnerable Caribbean states to ramp up food production and to advance plans for food security.
Speaking at a Caribbean Development Bank’s (CDB’s) seminar held recently, Isaac Solomon, vice-president of operations at the regional financial institution, encouraged the bank’s member countries to prioritise food security initiatives while accelerating efforts towards the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“With less than eight years left until 2030, it is imperative that the region accelerate all efforts towards the achievement of the SDGs and our development now,” he said.
With goal two of the SDGs focused on ending hunger, achieving food security and improved nutrition, Solomon expressed a desire for the relay of tangible and implementable actions to contribute to the region’s agenda
