Phytoalert helps identify phytosanitary risks before symptoms appear, allowing early action to protect crop quality, reduce losses, and improve export reliability.

Key benefits:

• Early detection of pathogens directly in the field
• Reduced treatment costs through preventive action
• Lower agrochemical uses and improved sustainability
• Support for compliance with retailer quality and phytosanitary standards
• Better traceability and reduced export claims

The Caribbean agrifood sector, largely driven by SMEs, is central to food supply and rural livelihoods but faces major pressures such as high import dependence, climate-related risks, food insecurity, and trade constraints.

In this context, agroecology is increasingly seen as a practical and flexible approach to strengthen resilience and sustainability by applying ecological principles like diversification, recycling, and the integration of local knowledge, many of which are already present in traditional farming systems across the region.

This webinar will explore how agroecological approaches can support Caribbean agrifood SMEs in improving productivity and resilience through real-world examples and practical tools. It will highlight SME experiences, discuss how these practices can be applied at farm and enterprise level, and identify key enabling conditions such as access to knowledge, finance, markets, and technical support.

“Certifications, quality standards, and value chain control are not just technical requirements, they are strategic assets that build trust and unlock better markets and financing.”

Based in Togo, Cajou Espoir is a cashew processing company founded in 2004. The company contributes to local value creation through cashew processing, works closely with producers, supports employment particularly for women and has strengthened its market positioning through quality standards and certifications.

Joel’s message reminds us that, for agrifood SMEs, investing in quality is not only about meeting requirements. It can also help build credibility with buyers, partners and investors.

For agrifood entrepreneurs, what is the biggest challenge in turning certifications and quality standards into real business opportunities: cost, technical capacity, market recognition, or access to the right support?

This webinar will highlight practical strategies and examples of men’s engagement in support of women entrepreneurs. Through South–South knowledge exchange, the session will demonstrate how men can actively support women-led enterprises and challenge restrictive gender norms; showcase tools, programs, and models that enable men to be effective allies in finance, leadership, and market access; and highlight policy, partnership, and ecosystem approaches that allow men’s engagement initiatives to scale across sectors and communities.

By positioning men as partners in women’s empowerment, this webinar aims to foster inclusive business environments where women entrepreneurs can thrive. Together, we can unlock growth, innovation, and resilience: for women, men, and entire communities.
