 Documentum continues to build around efforts to assist agriculture stickholder communities in implementing strategies to improve livelihoods to enhance climate smart agriculture practices. The focus this time was on the adoption of soil and plant health management systems on smallholder producer farms through farmer-focused community-based education and training, hosted by the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture IECA, and in collaboration with the Canaries Community Improvement Foundation, the CCIF. The training exercise brought together 25 participants for hands-on sessions exploring the basic principles of soil health examination and planting. This project, as I said before, is one that is of great importance. Not only does it seek to improve and build the capacity of the community to address a problem that the community may face in terms of the slippage and loss of soil and its impact on the marine environment, but it also provides an empowerment of community members in green businesses in seeking to use the vertebrae as a green business, establishing opportunities for using it in various different ways that the vertebrae offers so that the community can also achieve some level of income from the vertebrae, not just to address the environmental concern but also the economic and the sustainable livelihoods concern. Done as part of the ecosystem-based adaptation project, which is managed by the Caribbean Biodiversity Fund, IECA has been keen on engaging communities in establishing vertebrae nurseries as a means of bioengineering and for addressing the degradation of slopes around the village of Canaries. The partnership with the Canaries Community Improvement Foundation has been ongoing for the last year and a half. Some people in this crowd will be able to get something out of this workshop and have a fulfilling life by creating their own green business, be it agriculture or the craft work. The Inter-American Institute for Cooperation and Agriculture promises to closely monitor the progress of this project in Canaries and looks forward to providing the required technical expertise to community members who desire to take on the initiative seriously to advance their individual attributes to livelihoods.
