The local kids were out in force to help with our fruit tree donation day in Crawfish Rock. Big thanks to Denisse from Clearwater Adventures for helping set this up, the Crawfish Rock Patronado, and Josiany from Wild Roatan for helping make the afternoon a huge success. Lots of interest in the breadfruit trees which was great to see, we also donated avocado, soursop, jamaican apples, mamones, and papaya trees. We look forward to a follow-up day next year, and for the upcoming community donation days before the end of the year.

**WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT BREADFRUIT?**
“When we talk about our contemporary food system, there are so many problems—environmental problems, nutrition concerns, and access and justice concerns,” says Noa Kekuewa Lincoln, professor at University of Hawaii and co-founder and production advisor at the Hawaii ‘Ulu Cooperative. “To us, breadfruit hits all of them. It’s a highly nutrient-dense carbohydrate and compared to almost all the other major staples we eat, it’s much healthier. In terms of access and justice, there are so few crops that involve planting a single tree in your backyard and feeding your family.”

“Diane Ragone from the National Tropical Botanical Garden on the Hawaiian island of Kauai believes breadfruit is the most ecological carbohydrate in the world. Most staple carbohydrates—think corn, wheat, and potatoes—are the product of annual crops, meaning they need to be replanted every year. And that replanting requires all kinds of resources. Breadfruit grows on a long-lived tree, which gives it high water and nutrient efficiency, and the tree’s roots help it absorb carbon from the atmosphere and store it underground. It’s also a key element in multistorey agroforestry, an increasingly popular approach to growing food in the face of the climate crisis.”
----
“With economic over-dependence on tourism, extreme reliance on imported foods, growth in non-communicable diseases, increased hunger, malnutrition and obesity and heightened vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, a holistic solution is required. A Trinidadian Agricultural Economist and Instructor at the University of the West Indies’ (UWI) Faculty of Food and Agriculture believes he has the answer. “Breadfruit”.
