La Gonave Island, located off the west coast of Haiti, faces economic, social, and environmental challenges that have a direct impact on the food security and nutrition of its inhabitants. Agriculture is mainly rainfed, and prolonged droughts, natural shocks, erosion, and soil infertility have created high vulnerability and near-permanent food insecurity. The island is sparsely populated and is considered mountainous and arid from an agro-ecological standpoint. PREVAG2 is built on the foundation set by PREVAG and is based on the principle that if agricultural producers have access to improved seeds and adopt enhanced agricultural practices, then food insecurity and vulnerability will be significantly reduced on the island.

To reduce the food vulnerability of the target populations in Palma and Grand Lagon in the commune of Anse a Galets, as well in La Source and Gros Mangle in the commune of Pointe a Raquette.
