According to the joint United Nations 2019 Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean, there are 600,000 deaths each year in Latin America and the Caribbean as a result of inadequate diets. Unhealthy diets throughout the region are often due to a low consumption of whole grains, nuts, seeds, and vegetables, along with high sodium intake. The report also suggested that in the Caribbean, the highest mortality rate was linked to inadequate diets where it was estimated that 240 adults per 100,000 died due to the impacts of poor eating habits.
Our Caribbean farmers and small-scale producers struggle daily with limited access to reliable markets, our people face difficulties acquiring sufficient, healthy and nutritionally balanced food, and we also continue to see an increase in the ecological footprint of our agri-food sector.
