the components and questions/statements listed below. Groups are allowed to make reasonable
assumptions.

Barbados Barbados GIS - The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has
collaborated with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy, and local business
Adams Aquafarms, on a project to train persons in aquaponics. Aquaponics is a sustainable way
of integrating land-based fish farming with plant production. Both are placed in a tank, and the
set up allows for them to coexist, with the waste produced by the fish fertilizing the plants, while
the plants purify the water for the fish. The training, funded by the FAO, will take place at a
demonstration facility, located at Adams Aquafarms, Hopewell, St. Thomas. The FAO is
currently targeting 30 entrepreneurs and 10 teachers. Minister of Maritime Affairs and the Blue
Economy, Kirk Humphrey, believes the project will be "transformative", as it has the potential to
empower Barbadians. "In aquaponics, you have the opportunity to have, at the same time,
multiple sources of income [because] you're getting plant production and fish to eat," he said,
adding that he would like the project to be expanded to include the average Barbadian.
Reiterating that the development of the fisheries and agricultural sectors were key in
Government's vision for a "new Barbados", Minister Humphrey said aquaponics would be
beneficial, especially to those who live in areas too limited for medium or largescale farming.
The FAO's Regional Project Coordinator at CC4FISH, Iris Monnereau, expressed a similar view,
pointing out the aquaponics was well-suited for Barbados and the wider Caribbean, in light of
water scarcity and persistent drought conditions. "It uses 90 per cent less water than traditional
forms of agriculture .... It is a very efficient form of agriculture. It also doesn't use fertilizer and
has the added benefit of producing fish," Ms. Monnereau explained. She added that the project
was part of the FAO's vision to promote climate resilient farming, while ensuring the
establishment and sustainability of profitable agribusinesses in the Caribbean. Meanwhile, owner
of Adams Aquafarms, Kristina Adams, said she was pleased to partner with the Food and
Agriculture Organization on the initiative. She was also optimistic about it.

2. while there was growing interest in aquaponics, access to technical support locally was an
obstacle for many. According to Ms. Adams, the training would take the form of a five-day
workshop consisting of classroom and practical sessions. Adams Aquafarm utilizes 1,500 square
feet of space to produce 1,000 plants and 800 pounds of fish. Ninety per cent of the equipment
used is sourced locally. Similar technology is also being adapted in neighboring countries like in
