Welcome
The University of the West Indies in rising to the challenges of continual transformation of the Caribbean agriculture sector in the face of the changing global socio-economic environment has recognized the need for a shift in focus to attainment and maintenance of food security within the region.
Moreover, the important contribution of food and agriculture to the health and well-being of Caribbean people, within a safe physical environment, is a major objective that is supported through the School of Agriculture, Faculty of Science and Agriculture at the St Augustine campus.
As the university strives to support the building of healthier communities, it is imperative that we not lose the ability to retain traditional agricultural commodities, while offering new products to meet the changing tastes for food(s) through the regional diversification efforts currently taking place. The Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension (DAEE) concentrates its activities in Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Extension, Communications and Outreach, Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Consumer Sciences, Agribusiness, Foodservice Management and business services.
The DAEE considers itself a unit that can successfully help in the improvement of Caribbean health and nutrition, and the development of economic, environmental and agricultural policies at the national and regional level.
