Recognizing the si gnificance and complexity of these challenges\, this dissertation begins w ith a detailed review of the conditions that have served to undermine effo rts to achieve sustainable food and nutrition security outcomes in the Car ibbean\, focussing on issues of history\, economy and innovation. The conc ept of social resilience subsequently emerges as operating at the pivot of human-nature interactions in the region\, cutting across three intersecti ng policy domains: 1) smallholder farming systems\, 2) global environmenta l change\, and 3) food security. Building on this conceptual framework\, t he remaining dissertation explores how various dimensions of social resili ence influence sustainable smallholder agricultural system innovation in t he nation of Saint Lucia\, a typical small island developing state in the Caribbean Community.\n\nEveryone in the 91ºÚÁÏÍø community is welcome to att end a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n\n \n\n \n DTSTART:20161014T131500Z DTEND:20161014T131500Z LOCATION:MS2-022 (Faculty Lounge)\, Macdonald-Stewart Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellevue\, H9X 3V9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:PhD Oral Defense: Connecting the dots: Building social resilience t o support sustainable food security policy in the Caribbean URL:/macdonald/channels/event/phd-oral-defense-connect ing-dots-building-social-resilience-support-sustainable-food-security-poli cy-263243 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
