AcuSpray Introduces the SAFE™ Initiative at the Caribbean Week of Agriculture 2024

KINGSTOWN, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, October 28, 2024 (Newswire.com) - AcuSpray, a leader in agricultural innovation and drone technology, proudly introduced its groundbreaking SAFE™ (Sustainable Agriculture for Food Equity) Initiative during the Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA) held in October. This pivotal event brought together key stakeholders and policymakers from across the Caribbean, creating a platform to address pressing issues surrounding food security and sustainable agriculture.

The Caribbean Week of Agriculture, organized by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), serves as the region’s premier agricultural forum, focused on promoting "Climate-Smart Agriculture for a Sustainable Future." CARICOM, a political and economic union of 20 members throughout the Caribbean, facilitates economic integration, coordinates foreign policy, and promotes collaboration across sectors, including agriculture.

During the event, the AcuSpray team had the honor of engaging with numerous key delegates from CARICOM, including the Secretary-General, Dr. Carla Natalie Barnett. They also were able to meet with directors from the Ministries of Agriculture from several CARICOM nations, such as Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, the Bahamas, St. Lucia, Turks and Caicos, Antigua, Barbuda and others.

The SAFE™ Initiative represents a comprehensive approach to improving food security and agricultural sustainability across the Caribbean. Combining AcuSpray’s innovative drone solutions, organic nitrogen technology, and expert agricultural consulting services, SAFE™ offers a path to enhanced agricultural productivity and climate resilience.

Key components of the SAFE™ Initiative include:

• Drone Solutions: Utilizing advanced drone technology to monitor crop health, diagnose nutrient deficiencies, and autonomously treat affected areas, providing timely interventions with minimal environmental impact.
• Organic Nitrogen Technology: A revolutionary system that harvests nitrogen from the atmosphere to produce 100% organic nitrogen water, offering a sustainable alternative to imported fertilizers and enhancing crop growth while reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals.
• Expert Agricultural Consulting: AcuSpray leverages over 50 years of commercial farming expertise to offer tailored, sustainable farming practices, empowering local cooperatives and small farmers across the Caribbean.

“AcuSpray is honored to have introduced the SAFE™ Initiative at such a critical event as the Caribbean Week of Agriculture,” said Jeff Bickley, CEO of AcuSpray. “Our discussions with CARICOM leaders and various agricultural ministries have reinforced our commitment to advancing sustainable agriculture across the Caribbean. By working closely with these nations, we aim to enhance food security, reduce dependence on imported inputs, and foster a more resilient agricultural system.”

The SAFE™ Initiative has garnered significant interest from governments and farming cooperatives seeking to address food equity challenges within the region. Moving forward, AcuSpray plans to further collaborate with CARICOM member states to implement tailored solutions that can unlock the agricultural potential of the Caribbean while ensuring sustainability and climate adaptability.
