In this episode of the Global Yaadie Podcast, Jamaica's Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Mining, Honorable Floyd Green, provides an insightful look into the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl and its impact on the agriculture and fisheries sectors in Jamaica and the Caribbean. With an estimated J$10 billion required to rebuild the farming and fisheries sector, the ripple effects are being felt by over 48,000 farmers and 11,000 fishers. Beyond the numbers, Minister Green highlights the collective effort needed to rebuild, emphasizing the power of community support and the pivotal role the diaspora plays in recovery efforts. The conversation also emphasizes the importance of climate resilience and climate finance for small island developing states to better withstand the impacts of climate change and future disasters. Beryl is behind us but the work continues.
Tune in for practical insights to support affected communities and help people to recover.
