Jus' Ah Conversation

Crop and livestock theft is something many farmers in Barbados quietly deal with — but the impact is anything but small.
In this episode of Jus’ Ah Conversation, hosts Aisha Reid and Fabian Belgrave sit down with voices from across the agricultural sector to talk openly about the reality of farm theft, how it affects farmers, and what it means for the future of local food production.
Joining the conversation are:
Barney Callender, Deputy Chief Agricultural Officer with responsibility for livestock and over four decades of experience in the Ministry of Agriculture.
Ronald Moore, a crop and greenhouse farmer and board member of the St. George Farmers’ Marketing Co-operative Society.
Keriah Scantlebury, owner of Riah’s Farms and a passionate youth advocate helping to shape the next generation of agriculture in Barbados.
Together they unpack the challenges farmers face when crops or animals disappear overnight, the emotional and financial toll it takes, and the broader impact on food security and the agricultural industry.
It’s an honest conversation about protecting the people who grow our food — and what needs to change.

Season 3 of Jus’ Ah Conversation kicks off with a timely and important conversation about CARICOM Full Free Movement — what it actually means, what’s changing, and how it could impact your everyday life.
From work opportunities and travel to residency, education, and regional integration, we break down the facts in plain language and explore both the possibilities and the concerns surrounding deeper Caribbean unity.
This episode looks beyond the headlines to answer the real questions Bajans and Caribbean people are asking:
Who qualifies for free movement?
What rights come with it?
How could it affect jobs, wages, and businesses?
What protections are in place?
