The United Nations and its organizations such as the World Food Programme (WFP) have been working with government and farmers to enhance sustainability in agriculture.

That’s according to United Nations World Food Programme Data Entry Specialist, Shanna Sey Myers.

Myers was speaking to NBC Radio News at the recent Caribbean Week of Agriculture Expo at the Cruise Ship terminal.

Myers said the UN WFP has been working in Saint Vincent and The Grenadines and across the region, to increase sustainability in different areas to ensure food security.

"Not just the United Nations (UN) but the World Food Program (WFP) especially, we focus on ensuring we not only target countries that are less fortunate that do not have the resources that others do to empower their people and their population that they can find ways to ensure that they are fed. We know we partnered with governments, we partnered with the people themselves, sometimes with the cashbacks, sometimes we partnered with the farmers ensuring that not they have ways to source the food but its sustainable."
