Samenvatting

The Caribbean Netherlands rely heavily on costly imports of fresh produce, contributing to unhealthy diets and rising rates of obesity. Local food production remains limited due to insufficient water-smart, nature-inclusive agricultural practices and low climate resilience. The research project Food Resilient Futures in the Caribbean Netherlands was established to help address these challenges using a Living Lab approach, bringing together the local community, government, and researchers to co-develop pathways toward a more prosperous and food-secure future.
