'CARPHA commemorates World Food Day 2021  “Key public health threats to the food and agriculture sector in the Caribbean include foodborne and waterborne disease outbreaks, weather uncertainties, flooding and other natural disasters, , and now, the COVID-19 pandemic. As the Region struggles with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, more persons are facing limitations, and in some cases struggling to meet their food and nutritional needs which decreases their options for healthy food choices,” stated Dr. Lisa Indar, Director Surveillance, Disease Prevention and Control at CARPHA in observance of World Food Day.  World Food Day celebrated annually on 16th October, brings attention to and advocates for topics in food security, sustainability, and nutrition, and highlights the multiple stakeholders working to provide safe, healthy, affordable, nutritious food, for all. This year the theme is, “Our Actions are Our Future,” with a focus on Agri Food Systems - strengthening local food systems for host communities and displaced communities.
