In 2006, a small group of farmers on the Caribbean island of Dominica launched the Dominican Organic Agriculture Movement (DOAM). From what began as not much more than a good idea, with the support of the Chemonics implemented USAID Caribbean Open Trade Support program, the organization now provides training courses and has created a burgeoning organic community on the island. Farmers like Roy Orman learn the fundamentals of growing crops organically as well as the broader steps necessary to achieve organic certification. As its influence grows, DOAM is also helping the Government of Dominica meet its commitment to having a national agriculture industry free of chemical inputs by 2015.

Imagine the world is an island, and all of its resources conserved in a sustainable way -- clean, abundant water, environmentally-friendly agriculture, and preservation of forest and habitats -- an island where every action is carefully examined for its impact on the current and future health of the environment. The Caribbean island of Dominica strives to do all of these things. It is known as "The Nature Isle of the Caribbean" for its unspoiled natural beauty, with rivers, waterfalls, rainforest, hot spring, and sandy beaches. The commitment by the people and the government of Dominica is inspiring, with a focus on conserving these natural resources, while building new economies around ecotourism and sustainable agriculture.

The Dominican Republic is situated on the eastern part of the second largest island in the Greater Antilles, Hispaniola. The Dominican Republic shares the island roughly at a 2:1 ratio with Haiti. The whole country measures an area of 48921 km²[37] making it the second largest country in the Antilles after Cuba.[38] The country's mainland has three mountain ranges, those being Cordillera Central (starting from Haiti towards east crossing the island), Cordillera Septentrional, and Cordillera Oriental in the East. In between the Central and Septentrional mountain ranges lies the rich and fertile Cibao valley. This major valley is home to the city of Santiago de los Caballeros and to most of the farming areas in the nation. The country's capital and greatest metropolitan area, Santo Domingo, is located at the southern shore.
