Farmers and extension officers across the island benefited from a two-day introductory workshop on greenhouse gas emission (GHG) in crop production and data collection tools.


The workshop aimed at introducing participants to key data requirements in the analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, while also facilitating discussions around the challenges in the agricultural sector as it relates to GHG emissions tracking and reporting.


The two-day training workshop was a joint collaboration between the Taiwan Technical Mission (TTM) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Rural Development, which has partnered with the Caribbean Cooperative Measurement Reporting & Verification (CCMRV) Hub to implement the Climate Impact and Data Enhancement Project.


It also falls under the second phase of the “Enhancement of the Efficiency of Production Supply Chain in Fruit and Vegetable Sector Project”, commonly known as the “Seven Crops Project”, which runs from 2022 to 2026.


During the sessions, the following outcomes were recorded: interactive engagement among the key stakeholders, namely farmers, extension officers, and policymakers; promoting of awareness of data gaps and opportunities; encouraging more robust and consistent data collection and sharing practices; and fostering better communication and coordination across the agricultural sector to support climate action
