Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Floods to Droughts Climate Change and Jamaica's Water Problems
Q: What would an ideal, sustainable water management world look like in Jamaica?
An ideal world would balance development with robust watershed management, integrated green infrastructure, modeling tools for planners, down-to-downstream connectivity, and ongoing maintenance financed through policy incentives and community stewardship.
From Floods to Droughts Climate Change and Jamaica's Water Problems
Q: What is a watershed and how does it function to keep us in water supply?
A watershed is the land area where rainfall drains to a common river or body of water; protecting its integrity helps maintain water quality and availability by ensuring sediment retention and reduced runoff.
From Floods to Droughts Climate Change and Jamaica's Water Problems
Q: What have been the natural resources of water and how have we taken care of them?
Overall, water resources are in reasonably good condition with groundwater offering more reliability than surface water, though reduced rainfall could threaten groundwater recharge and increase reliance on remaining sources.
Mek we feed wi self
Q: How can youth get involved in urban farming beyond traditional garden plots?
Youth can engage through vertical farming, container gardening, seed production, and tech-enabled systems like smart irrigation and fertigation, plus entrepreneurship in distributing produce and creating value-added products.
Mek we feed wi self
Q: What do we mean by food security in this urban context and why is it important?
Food security means providing healthy, affordable food year-round through diverse urban and backyard production, reducing reliance on external supply chains and mitigating price shocks from events like hurricanes or pandemics.
