We are currently finalizing plans for a Wellness and Agricultural Village on the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia. The goal of the agricultural component is to produce foods high in nutritious value for the community, guests at the Wellness village and for export substitution. We will focus on the use of technology to reduce costs of production and also to reduce on the amount of water and land dedicated to this project. In addition, we will also aim to reduce on the food import bill for the island and for Caricom.

We are looking for other stakeholders to participate with us in funding this project, providing technical support and education and training.
Tres bon.
