A Solution for Family Food Security

As Jamaica’s agriculture sector struggles with increasingly severe climate-driven storms, floods and droughts, local economies are forced to rely more heavily on imported goods. At the same time, global supply chain disruptions are delaying delivery of foodstuffs and other essentials that families need for survival.

To help Jamaicans become more food secure, INMED Caribbean recently introduced a residential-sized system that families may install in their backyards to supplement their diet with fresh, nutritious, all-natural produce and fish.

Constructed of low-cost, local materials, the system is simple to operate and maintain and is climate resilient. Women, youth, people with disabilities and smallholder farmers like Delroy Foster are prospering with INMED Aquaponics® in Jamaica and around the world. Last year, Foster took INMED’s online and hands-on technical and business training and now is operating a small system on his property.
