Descripción
The project sought to address three primary challenges faced by the rural agricultural sector in Belize. These were (i) the need for a regional and territorial development mechanism utilizing the food systems approach to include rural small farmers in the national economy, (ii) the need to enhance the capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Enterprise (MAFSE) to provide training and technical assistance to youth and Indigenous women to develop agriculture enterprises and (iii) the need to enable market access for small agribusinesses by leveraging on public market opportunities such as the school feeding programmes through an agribusiness incubation programme.
