To ensure that the family farming (FF) concept found application in the Caribbean Region, two years after the 2014 International Year of Family Farming (IYFF), IICA commissioned a study entitled Characterisation of Family Farms in the Caribbean: A Study of Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines as part of the Institute’s Flagship Project on Family Farming (FP-FF), by David Dollyand Glenroy Ennis (2017). This study was a first attempt to apply the varying formulations of a definition and characteristics of FF to a Caribbean context. It established the base for this current effort to determine the nature and scope of policy response for FF in the Caribbean. 2019-01-14T20:23:42Z 2019-01-14T20:23:42Z 2019 Libro 978-92-9248-821-5 http://repositorio.iica.int/handle/11324/7244 en 68 páginas application/pdf Puerto España, Trinidad and Tobago Instituto Interamericano de Cooperación para la Agricultura (IICA)
