Battling Food Insecurity in Vieques
Vieques, Puerto Rico, faces a critical challenge: nearly 60% of its residents live below the poverty line, and 99% of its food is imported, leading to high costs, limited access to fresh produce, and immense food waste.
This vulnerability is magnified by climate change and historical environmental damage.
