Climate-smart agriculture

So in my view, there's no other agriculture.

In my view, the only agriculture we should have today is climate smart agriculture because we face the reality of changing climate.

And one of the things that happens with changing climate, it is not just a matter of drought and hurricane and rainfall But recently we have noticed increased temperatures, which has become a reality of our time.

So the climate is not only changing, but the components of the climate that are changing is also changing.

Welcome to Just the Conversation, the podcast where we discuss the topics that matter to you.

I'm Michael Alcock joined by Aisha Reid and today we're talking about climate smart agriculture and asking whether Barbados is ready to rethink the way we grow food in a changing climate.

From drought and extreme weather to innovation, technology and food security, we're exploring what it will take to build a more resilient agricultural sector for the future.
