Addressing food and nutrition insecurity in the Caribbean through domestic smallholder farming system innovation -- Chapter 10. Knowledge, markets, and finance: Factors affecting the innovation potential of smallholder farmers in the Caribbean Community -- Chapter 11. Fisheries governance and food security in the Eastern Caribbean -- Chapter 12. Food security and livelihood vulnerability to climate change in Trinidad and Tobago -- Chapter 13. Exploring the role of social capital in influencing knowledge flows and innovation in St. Lucia -- Chapter 14. Eating meat or eating money?

This book provides a contemporary overview of the social-ecological and economic vulnerabilities that produce food and nutrition insecurity in various small island contexts, including both high islands and atolls, from the Pacific to the Caribbean. It examines the historical and contemporary circumstances that have accompanied the shift from subsistence production to the consumption of imported, processed foods and drinks, and the impact of this transition on nutrition and the rise of non-communicable diseases. It also assesses the challenges involved in reversing this trend, and how more effective social and economic policies, agricultural and fisheries strategies, and governance arrangements could promote more resilient and sustainable small island food systems. It offers both theoretical and practical perspectives, and brings together a broad range of policy areas, e.g. agriculture, food, commerce, health, planning and socio-economic policy. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource for a range of disciplines in a number of regional contexts, and for the growing number of scholars and practitioners working on and in small island states. It will be of particular value as the first book to examine the diversity and commonalities of island states around the globe as they confront issues of food security.
