dc.description.abstractThis one-page brief illustrates how the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Farm to Fork Food Security Project has contributed to year round vegetable production, increased markets, and higher income for small vegetable growers. Vegetable farming is being transformed from subsistence scale to high value enterprises for traditional small farmers. Participating farmers have witnessed unprecedented production, unbelievable prior to the Project. Smallholder vegetable farmers are able to move from home and community production to more commercial scales, thereby transforming their livelihoods.en
