farmers<br />
At least one community<br />
in 15 Caribbean<br />
countries<br />
The main objective of the workshop<br />
was to identify a plan of action that<br />
farmers can adopt to minimize the<br />
risks of Natural disasters to their<br />
resources.<br />
The methodology uses a participatory<br />
approach to assess the adaptive<br />
capacity and consequently the<br />
vulnerability of communities. Livelihood<br />
assets and strategies at the level of the<br />
household are examined to determine<br />
the underlying cause of vulnerabilities.<br />
