The Heritage Agrarian Institute of Caribbean Innovation (HAICI) stands at the forefront of agricultural education in the Caribbean. Born from a vision to transform Sint Maarten’s agricultural landscape, we are more than just an educational institution – we are pioneers of sustainable farming innovation and guardians of Caribbean agricultural heritage.
Our institute brings together passionate educators, agricultural experts, and industry innovators who share a common goal: empowering the next generation of Caribbean farmers with both traditional wisdom and cutting-edge sustainable practices. Through our unique blend of online learning and hands-on experience, we’re building a community of agricultural leaders who will shape the future of food sovereignty in our region.
What makes us unique is our three-pillar approach:
1. Heritage Preservation
We honor and preserve traditional Caribbean farming knowledge, ensuring these time-tested practices continue to benefit future generations.
2. Agricultural Innovation
Our curriculum integrates modern sustainable farming techniques with local expertise, preparing students for the challenges of 21st-century agriculture.
3. Community Impact
Every program we offer is designed with real-world application in mind, focusing on creating tangible benefits for Caribbean communities.
At HAICI, we believe that agricultural education is the key to regional food security, economic empowerment, and environmental resilience. Our team of dedicated professionals works tirelessly to provide world-class agricultural education that’s accessible, practical, and deeply rooted in Caribbean culture.
Together, we’re not just teaching farming – we’re cultivating change, one student at a time.
