Saint Vincent and the Grenadines links fertile volcanic agriculture on Saint Vincent with fishing and smaller-island food systems across the Grenadines. Dasheen, yam, sweet potato, plantain, bananas, vegetables, fruit, legumes and fish provide a strong foundation for nutritious local meals.
The 2021 eruption of La Soufrière displaced more than 13,000 people and caused major agricultural and forestry losses. Volcanic ash, hurricanes and transport disruption show why recovery must protect planting material, soil, water, fisheries, storage and routes connecting producers with communities.
FAO-supported school-feeding work connects fishers and local agriculture with children’s meals. In 2026, a climate-smart hydroponic demonstration facility was established to expand protected leafy-green production and local technical capacity. These efforts can improve food security while reducing dependence on imported sugary drinks and ultra-processed snacks.
