Addressing food and nutrition insecurity in the Caribbean through domestic smallholder farming system innovation. Regional Environmental Change, 15(7), 1325-1339. doi:10.1007/s10113-015-0770-9http://hdl.handle.net/10625/55509Structural conditions underlying the development of CARICOM’s two-tiered agricultural innovation system depict diverse drivers of change over time, versus institutional inertia of export-oriented formal institutions and the neglect of informal domestic markets. Key principles of taking an agroecological approach would include: supporting diversity and redundancy, building connectivity, managing slow variables and feedbacks, improving understanding of socioecological systems as complex adaptive systems, and encouraging polycentric governance systems. In this paper, we review the conditions that have been undermining sustainable food and nutrition security in the Caribbean, focusing on issues of history, economy, and innovation.application/pdfenCOMMUNITY-BASED DEVELOPMENTLAND USE POLICYFOOD POLICYCOMPLEXITYSUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMSJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
