Time to end the CARICOM food security ‘theatre’

This week’s Thirty-Third Inter-Sessional Meeting of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) afforded regional leaders yet another opportunity to set aside lengthy presentations and instead, make a focussed effort to arrive at implementable solutions to some of the long-standing challenges that continue to confront the region. None of these issues can be more important than the need to arrive, and quickly, at a consensus on how to move forward on regional food security, an issue on which most regional analysts have, up until now, awarded the region nothing better than a fail grade.
