Building the adaptive capacity of smallholder sugarcane

A team from Belize Sugar Industries, ASR’s mill and supplier in Belize, is helping to run a five-year initiative funded by the Green Climate Fund, accredited by the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre.  

This project will focus on reducing the vulnerability of Belize’s agriculture sector to climate change. The aim is to expand the capacity of the sugarcane variety development program to produce sugarcane varieties resistant to droughts, floods and climate-induced pests and diseases.
