520			_ahe Farm to Fork model, developed specifically for the Caribbean, resulted in increased income for farmers and improved consistency in food production and supply. Technical and institutional support for irrigated agriculture increased yields and opened new markets, particularly for women farmers. Use of locally made compost increased productivity, quality and profitability. The project worked with the Ministry of Agriculture, to introduce drip irrigation to 16 smallholder farmers, who were also trained in techniques for soil moisture monitoring and conservation. Improved agricultural technologies enabled farmers to supply school feeding programs and enhance dietary diversity.
