The Promotion of Organic Farming as an alternative to conventional farming in Saint Lucia.
The purpose of the planning grant is to help the Hewanorra Organic Agricultural Movement (HOAM) to:
(i) conduct research on the extent of organic farming and the willingness of farmers to make a paradigm shift to organic farming from conventional agriculture;
(ii) convene meetings and a training workshop for its members and interested persons; and
(iii) draft a Full Grant Proposal.
It is expected that this grant will help to place organic farming on the national agenda of St. Lucia.
