Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic heavily disrupted the food systems of the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. To provide recommendations on how to strengthen the food system in a way that is feasible and acceptable for the stakeholders and population on the islands, a content analysis was done on the 13 research activities that have been conducted within the scope of a ZonMw-funded project. Themes that emerged most frequently were farming techniques, farming knowledge and collaboration, consumer education and government. A framework has been extracted from this analysis presenting the five most adequate strategies for transforming the food system.
