Fuel, Food, and Fragility: What the Caribbean Isn’t Paying Attention To

This is not really a conversation about Iran. It is a conversation about what external shocks mean for food, fuel, electricity and everyday life in the Caribbean and why far more of us should be thinking about preparedness, local production and resilience. In this interview St Vincent Times journalist Ernesto Cooke and I discuss: Why this matters here The 1970s energy crisis as warning Fertiliser, not just fuel The illusion of food security Why preparedness is not fear-mongering The myth that Trinidad and Guyana solve everything What stayed with me after this conversation was not only Ernesto’s truth talking, but the wider point beneath it: the Caribbean remains far more exposed than many of us like to admit. If we want a different future, we have to think beyond commentary and into capability - household by household, community by community, system by system.
