Agriculture & Food SecuritySectors We Serve
Agriculture and food security are central to economic stability, public health, and climate resilience across the Caribbean. Small islands face interconnected challenges, including climate variability, land and water constraints, supply chain disruption, and post‑harvest losses that directly affect food availability, affordability, and regional self‑reliance.
Technology, Innovation, and Applied Environmental Science
Innovation plays a critical role in strengthening agriculture and food security in the Caribbean. Beyond agricultural production, resilient food systems depend on effective post‑harvest handling, storage, transportation, and data‑informed decision‑making.
Altus Regional applies innovative approaches across agriculture and food security systems, including climate‑smart agriculture, sustainable land and water management, and technology‑enabled solutions that reduce loss and improve efficiency. This includes applied and exploratory work in cold‑chain logistics to support the preservation and movement of fresh produce between islands, strengthening regional supply chains and reducing post‑harvest waste.
Our approach integrates environmental science, digital tools, and practical implementation to support agriculture and food security systems that are productive, adaptive, and responsive to climate and market pressures.
This approach is reflected in initiatives such as Altus Regional’s Innovation Challenge, which encourages tech-driven solutions to agricultural and food security challenges across the Caribbean.
Our Approach to Agriculture & Food Security
Altus Regional applies an innovation‑driven, systems‑based approach to agriculture and food security, combining technical expertise with practical implementation to deliver solutions that:
- Address systemic food security challenges
- Reduce post‑harvest loss and supply chain risk
- Integrate climate risk into food security planning
- Strengthen evidence-based decision‑making
- Build capacity for sustainable implementation
This approach is underpinned by inclusive engagement across agriculture and food security systems, working with stakeholders from farm‑level operations to public sector institutions in the Caribbean, while drawing on relevant experiences and solutions from other regions to strengthen local outcomes.
Environmental & Agricultural Sector Support Services Applied Across the Environment & Agriculture
Altus Regional supports informed decision‑making across terrestrial and marine systems, including biodiversity monitoring, coastal and marine resource management, and land‑use planning.
Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs)
We conduct rigorous, governance‑aligned environmental assessments that support responsible, compliant, and sustainable development across the Caribbean.
Climate Change Adaptation & Resilience Planning
We assess climate risks and design adaptation strategies for communities, infrastructure, and coastal assets to enhance long‑term resilience.
Sustainable Agriculture & Natural Resource Management
We advise on climate‑smart agriculture, soil and water management, and sustainable value‑chain practices that increase productivity while reducing environmental impact.
Coastal and Marine Resource Management
We support the sustainable use and protection of coastal and marine resources through:
Waste Management & Circular Economy Solutions
We develop integrated waste management strategies, recycling and circular economy interventions, and hazardous waste handling protocols.
Environmental Data, GIS & Remote Sensing
We provide spatial analysis, environmental monitoring systems, and data visualization to support evidence‑based decision making and project monitoring.
Capacity Building
Research, Policy, and Knowledge‑Building
Altus Regional is committed to advancing evidence‑based environmental governance and sustainable development through research, policy engagement, and knowledge‑sharing.
This commitment is reflected in initiatives such as our Blue Policy Series, which provides a platform for dialogue, analysis, and policy‑relevant discussion on marine and coastal issues affecting the Caribbean.
Through this series, we contribute to regional conversations on ocean governance, marine biodiversity, and sustainable use of marine resources.
Training and Professional Development
Building long‑term environmental resilience requires investment in skills, knowledge, and institutional capacity.
As part of our Environment & Natural Resources work, Altus Regional designs and delivers targeted training and professional development initiatives across environmental management, waste management, agriculture, and climate resilience.
