About the surveyAcross the Caribbean, individuals and households continue to navigate complex and compounding pressures that affect their ability to access food, earn a stable income, and sustain livelihoods in sectors such as agriculture and fishing. In a region heavily reliant on food imports and vulnerable to external shocks and natural hazards, even a single shock or event can have deep and lasting impacts on people’s lives and livelihoods. Successive ones erode resilience further.Since 2020, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has been partnering with the World Food Programme (WFP) to monitor these evolving dynamics through the Caribbean Food Security and Livelihoods Survey. The survey provides valuable insights into people’s access to markets, livelihoods and food security. The findings help inform governments and development partners as they address regional challenges.The latest edition, the eighth round of the survey, was carried out between 20 May and 20 June 2025. This report compares those results to earlier surveys dating back to April 2020, offering a longitudinal look at the impacts of climate shocks and economic strain over time.The survey was disseminated online through social media, news outlets, SMS, and email. While it offers a meaningful snapshot of conditions across the region, it’s important to note that the data is not representative. Because the survey relied on internet access, it may underrepresent communities without reliable connectivity.
