Food Hygiene Bureau is honoured to host the Caribbean Food Security and Safety Sustainability Summit & Expo. This event will be held September 22-23, 2021 Virtual and *at Jamaica.
This inaugural event aims to bring together food policy makers across the region, leading Academic scientists, NGOs, agronomists, supply chain researchers, consumers, consumers associations, farmers and scholars to discuss and share on Caribbean Resilience Food Security/Safety for the region. There is a need for the Caribbean to have a single marketplace to ensure food policy addresses the health of the Caribbean nation, sustainability of traditional crops, and the use of new technology.
The Caribbean region has experienced its worst devastation to our supply chain as the overseas market contracted due to lockdowns, and interruptions to the operational facilities in our history. Farmers and government are concerned about the future of food production, how to feed our nation and remain healthy, how to stimulate the local food production economy. COVID-19 pandemic root is external to the region, but with huge public health impact had devasted our economy through lockdown measures implemented for public health protection. Coupled with the threat of climate change and seed insecurity there is an urgent need for us to ensure a resilient food supply chain for the future.
This 2-day event will focus on the Caribbean region Food Security Policy and food supply chain sustainability/solutions in a single marketplace.
Speakers will be from India, Canada, USA, UK and the Caribbean.
