Samenvatting

Food insecurity, highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, demands robust solutions, including digital technologies. In St. Lucia, producers show willingness to adopt basic tools like WhatsApp but face barriers such as insufficient knowledge, lack of support, financial constraints, and limited availability. Performance expectancy is positive, yet advanced technologies see low adoption. Key factors influencing adoption are ease of use and supportive conditions. Recommendations include training, awareness campaigns, technical support, infrastructure improvement, and policy development to enhance food security through digital transformation.
