Testament to this has been fisher support in national efforts at sustainability such as the establishment of marine protected areas and replenishment zones (and their expansion); seasons and quotas for products like lobster and conch; and most recently, the zoning of national waters to manage access to fishing grounds. Expected and unexpected challenges have naturally impacted the implementation of each of these initiatives but given that a strong, sustainable fishery is the big picture, support for these efforts endures. You see, Belizean fisheries directly benefit more than 15,000 of us every day.

The Central Farm Campus of the University of Belize (UBCF) is home to the agriculture program of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology (FST) which currently offers a two- year Associates Degree in General Agriculture. The institution has a rich history of agriculture training in Belize dating back to 1953, some five years after the inception of the first formal agriculture education program at the Lynam Agriculture College in the Stann Creek District of southern Belize. At Lynam, individuals were trained to meet the demand for agricultural field demonstrators, later called extension workers, for the colonial public service. Higher level technical positions in agriculture were filled by expatriates. In 1953 the scope of agriculture training was expanded, with the establishment of Central Farm Training School, to cater to the need for in-service training of demonstrators, and workshops and seminars for farmers. Lynam Agriculture College was closed in 1971 and the physical resources converted to a prison. The school at Central Farm continued its program of short course delivery up to 1977 when it was converted to the Belize School of Agriculture (BSA) with an expanded mandate to include training of agricultural extension workers and technicians for the public service. During the period 1977-1981, BSA offered a one-year certificate in general agriculture, expanded in 1981 to an optional second year for a diploma in general agriculture. In 1983 the certificate program was discontinued and the entire curriculum upgraded to a two year diploma program.

    “We Are Strong Women”: a Focused Ethnography Of

    “WE ARE STRONG WOMEN”: A FOCUSED ETHNOGRAPHY OF THE REPRODUCTIVE LIVES OF WOMEN IN BELIZE Carrie S. Klima, Ph.D. University of Connecticut, 2002 Belize is a small country in Central America with a unique heritage. The cultural pluralism found in Belize provides an opportunity to explore the cultures of the Maya, Mestizo and the Caribbean. Women in Belize share this cultural heritage as well as the reproductive health issues common to women throughout the developing world. The experiences of unintended pregnancy, contraceptive use and abortion were explored with women using a feminist ethnographic framework. Key informants, participant observations, secondary data sources and individual interviews provided rich sources of data to examine the impact of culture in Belize upon the reproductive lives of women. Data were collected over a two-year period and analyzed using QSRNudist qualitative data analysis software. Analysis revealed that regardless of age, ethnicity or educational background, women who found themselves pregnant prior to marriage experienced marriage as a fundamental cultural norm in Belize. Adolescent pregnancy often resulted in girls’ expulsion from school and an inability to continue with educational goals. Within marriage, unintended pregnancy was accepted but often resulted in more committed use of contraception. All women had some knowledge and experience with contraception, Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. Carrie S. Klima-University of Connecticut, 2002 although some were more successful than others in planning their families. Couples usually made decisions together regarding when to use contraception, however misinformation regarding safety and efficacy was prevalent. While abortion is illegal, most women had knowledge of abortion practices and some had personal experiences with self induced abortions using traditional healing practices common in Belize.
