Tom and Madge from Red Button Journal visited a local farm in Jamaica to talk with a farmer facing a serious and growing problem — praedial larceny, the theft of crops and farm produce.
This farmer survived Hurricane Melissa, but now finds himself struggling against thieves who are stealing the crops he worked so hard to grow. Praedial larceny has become a major issue for farmers across Jamaica, affecting livelihoods, food supply, and rural communities.
We walked with him on his farm to hear his story firsthand and learn how farm theft is impacting small farmers in Jamaica today.
Praedial larceny is something many people hear about in the news, but speaking directly with a farmer who lives with it every day brings the problem into focus.
Thank you for watching and supporting Red Button Journal.
