This report is a sub-component of the Adaptation to Climate Change in the Caribbean (ACCC) project.
Its purpose is to determine the extent to which climatic change might alter food production opportunities in countries which have traditionally been major suppliers of food to six selected Caricom countries and thereby alter food security in the region.
The report concludes with an assessment of the extent to which climatic change might threaten sources of food imports for each of the selected countries.
