Agriculture in the Caribbean is struggling above the ‘noise’ of other competing interests for attention in the media. Media in the Caribbean take a range of forms, but because of the various levels of media development by different countries in the region, coverage of agriculture is also subject to limitations of media operations in the region. It is both a symptom and a cause of the low positioning of Agriculture on national and regional policy agendas and in the media. This short video is taking a comparative look at the challenges and opportunities available for projection of the agriculture sector in conventional and new media, with special focus on two modes: print and radio modes.
