 Implemented across various regions in St Lucia, the building resilience for adaptation to climate change and climate variability in agriculture in St Lucia, Bragg bus project, is actively addressing critical vulnerabilities for farmers, including issues of steep slopes, landslips or water shortages, poor drainage, salt intrusion, and low production capacity. A key focus involves identifying areas for resilience and adaptation to enhance farmer comfort and attractiveness to the farming sector. As part of a week-long vulnerability assessment initiative in the agriculture sector, agricultural stakeholders participated in a geographic information system session. This aimed to empower them in building adaptive capacities within the agriculture sector. Project manager of the Bragg bus project, Dr. Donatian Gustave, highlighted the importance of creating a cadre of professionals capable of measuring vulnerabilities even after the conclusion of the Bragg bus project, working towards sustained sector resilience. GIS enables you to do analyses of the biophysical resource, but it allows you to also integrate socio-economic information, who farmers are, where there is poverty, where there is a higher probability of erosion, where there are higher gradients or slopes of vulnerable soils. It also allows you to store that information and to share that information. So you're building a cadre of persons with that skill set so that tomorrow, post Bragg bus project, we have the ability to continue doing the analyses, the planning and the management. During visits to different regions as part of the project, the vulnerability analysis consultant of the project, Dr. Sean Charles, assessed the landscape with an aim to consolidate data from various stakeholder agencies and create a composite map illustrating vulnerabilities. This approach provides an opportunity to develop a comprehensive map that specifically caters to assisting farmers, whether they are more susceptible or endangered, concerning vulnerability. Dr. Sean Charles emphasised that the GIS session plays a crucial role in addressing highlighted issues, including challenges related to water access, the aftermath of extreme events like hurricanes and pests and diseases. The application that would require persons to utilise data and the special candidate respective to agriculture and farming and the farmers need to be captured. So knowing on what data to capture, how to manipulate it and analyse it and how to present it. We know there might be challenges in the farming community. We know the educational status of most of our farmers or some of our farmers. Each one needs to teach one. On that concept, if we in the managerial administrative realm get to deduce information that is required, we can be able to impart it to our farmers. Through a combination of engaging with stakeholders and farmers, the BRACVUS project aims to holistically understand and address these pressing concerns for the benefit of the agricultural community.
