3. Challenge
• Climate Change/Water Management
How can ICT’s help address and create greater
understanding of climate change issues for the
Caribbean Agriculture Industry? How to alleviate
and adopt in terms of preparation farming choices,
planning and sustainable production, access to
storage management and strategic use of water
financing, insurance, risk mitigation/risk
assessment tools to measure climate change factors
and assess damage?
4. • Climate change is a real concern for
sustainable development of agriculture in the
Caribbean. Markets protection of intellectual
property rights and government support,
“such as” agricultural extension programs.
5. 2
• Extension involves the distribution of more
research knowledge and information. The
extension programs can help farmers to
prepare for greater climate variability, to
create contingency measures to deal with
risks and reduce the consequences of climate
change by providing advice on how to deal
with doughts and floods.
6. Climate Change
• Challenges in the small of the Caribbean vulnerable
to impact(sea level rises, temperature and rainfall
variations, and increased hurricane activity).
• Example
– Looking back in 2010 the Island of Saint Vincent was a
critical issue because many of their less developed areas
depends on rain as their only source of portable water.
7. These are risks that farmers faces during hurricane/flood
season in St. Vincent and other CARICOM and global
Before
states.

8. Water Management
• Crops are grown under a range of water
management from simple soil tillage aimed at
increasing the inflation of rainfall water
management attempts to control the amount
of water available to a crop through the
opportunistic deviation of the rainwater
pathway toward enhanced moisture storage
in the root zone

12. Basic Information on the
Website/App
• The creation of our Website/App basically
clear enough to understand that we are
targeting our CARICOM farmer’s through out
the Caribbean, On how to help the farmer’s
with the climate changing and their water
management. The estimate of our farmer’s
has shown us that the two (2) main challenges
they’re facing are climate changing and water
management.
13. Basic Information on the
Website/App
• We created this App to help the farmer’s find
data and information on how to manage and
maintain there crops through the climate
changes and how to deal with the risks of
water management.
14. Ending
• On the behalf of Untouchable Agrilicious, We
thank you for taking time out to enhance what
we had to share. This the end of our
presentation. Hope you did enjoy and
understand the solutions for challenges in
climate change and water management.
• WE THANK YOU!!
