Organic Farming

Jamaica’s agriculture sector has consistently seen a decline in its contribution to the Gross Domestic Product, and the Government of Jamaica, through the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MoAF) developed a food security strategy in 2008.

 This project aimed to contribute considerable resources to the implementation of this strategy, and improve agricultural productivity and production for at least 7 000 selected smallholder farmers in Jamaica.

Eco-Tourism

Bay View Eco Resort & Spa is a thirty-room boutique-type hotel situated on the cusp of a hill just four miles east of Port Antonio. 

Originally a coconut plantation, the layout of the property evolved around smaller buildings that existed previously, with great care at maintaining the natural flora and fauna. 

Powered in part by solar energy, all rooms have been retrofitted with inverter air conditioners with our water being pumped and purified from natural springs. 

Most of the fruits and vegetables prepared in The Country Style Restaurant are grown on our own farm.

This is the Community-Based Adaptation (CBA) project "Glengoffe climate change adaptation" in the community of Glengoffe, Jamaica. 

Glengoffe consists of fourteen small communities with an approximate population of 5000
