Without a doubt, Caribbean farming is fraught with a broad range of challenges. Chief among them is that most of the farms are smallholdings, often in difficult locations and with relatively poor soil, which can affect yield, quality, sustainability and profitability. 

In our conversation with Dr Yvane Agard-Abbot, the Founder of HydroFluidics, a Deep Tech/Agritech startup, she discusses, among other things:

  *  how Microfluidic Technology can address some of the problems in the Caribbean region’s agriculture sector;

  *  the problem HydroFluidics is trying to solve; and

  *  the next steps in bringing her solution to farmers.
