Constraints on constrainers : Limits on external economic policy effecting nutritional vulnerability in the Caribbean
Despite sufficient overall calorie and protein availability in most of the countries of the Caribbean, studies estimate that from 30 to well over 60 per cent of households do not obtain adequate supplies of food. Nor are these figures atypical of Third World food systems. Political, social, economic, and technical factors at the local, national, and global levels all contribute to a system that denies adequate nutrition. This study focuses on limits to external policy that affect nutritional vulnerability in the Caribbean, particularly Jamaica and to a lesser extent the Dominican Republic and Trinidad and Tobago
