Climate change is one of the major threats to food security in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

In an interview with NBC Radio News at the recently concluded Caribbean week of Agriculture Expo, Senior Project Officer Allanda Moses said that the goals of CWA and the organization align to address a very important issue.

"Now Food Security that's another big thing but we know one of the other major issue is climate change, so the Caribbean Week of Agriculture and its effect on agriculture and how we moved forward with that and zeroing hunger is very much affected on how we deal with that issue. I think it is critical for us to be here to share our mandate and also to mandate how we can survive and how we can reach to attaining that goal within our current situation."
