 The Triangular Project, aimed at strengthening water and soil resource management for sustainability of agri-food systems in the Caribbean countries during the COVID-19 pandemic, has kicked off with its mission in St Lucia. This collaborative initiative is led by the Government of Argentina, in partnership with the Argentine Agency for International Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid White Helmets, the Secretary of the Agricultural Livestock and and the National Institute of Agricultural Technology along with the German International Cooperation Agency. The project focuses on facilitating cooperation between Argentina and Caribbean nations to provide technical support for enhancing agricultural practices and improving water and soil management. It aims to fortify the region's capacity for sustainable farming methods. As part of the project, Caribbean focal points were actively engaged in identifying demonstration plot installations that exemplify effective soil and water management practices. According to representative of the National Institute of Agricultural Technology Juan Pablo Zamora Gomez, by establishing this enhanced capacity, the project sets the stage for future interventions that will further reinforce sustainable agricultural practices and bolster resilience to climate change in Caribbean countries. A demonstration plot allows us to share knowledge and share knowledge with farmers and students and extension officers and the demonstration plots facilitate us to implement training processes on the field with a wide range of students and farmers community. We have implemented a lot of demonstration plots in Argentina and now in the framework of this Triangle Cooperation Project, we are implementing demonstration plots in several countries and the main demonstration plots are located here in San Lucia. The project team alongside ministry officials also visited the Saafa Lewis Community College to gain valuable insights into the development of the demonstrative plot and observe first-hand the progress made in sustainable land and water management practices. Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture for Shrees Food Security and Rural Development Barry Moffalicier says this project stands as a prime example of effective cooperation between stakeholders pulling resources to strengthen water and soil management capacity in the Caribbean region. So this project since 2022, the resurgence of this project since 2022, has meaning on the technical support services that our extension services will be providing. Since we are also partnering with Saafa Lewis, we look at demonstration plots, looking at good agricultural practices and ensuring that that knowledge and training can be transferred to our farmers and also it can reach our households. So the government of San Lucia is pleased to partner with Argentina Inter and the rest of all stakeholders to make this initiative possible. We look forward to the results, we look forward to the outcomes and the benefits and we are with the successful implementation and completion of this initiative. The ongoing commitment of the Ministry of Agriculture in collaboration with the Triangular Project to reinforce water and soil resource management for sustainable agri-food systems in the Caribbean reflects the unwavering dedication of the Ministry and its international partners in supporting San Lucia's agriculture sector to improve livelihoods and ensure food security.
