Hello all! I'm so happy to find this forum. Nice to 'meet' you.
We are visiting Belize soon and are considering retiring there later on. I'd like to know more about the food and water systems in Belize. The rise of chemicals in our water and food systems in the U.S. is of great concern to my husband and I and it only seems it will get worse.
We would like to know if this is also the case in Belize as much as it is in the US and Mexico. We're also worried that if there is an influx of expats then the argument could be made(without truth) to introduce more GMO crops in the region.
Belize stands out because it is in great location, beautiful, and untouched and we can't wait to visit such a place. Everyone seems very friendly and welcoming. We love to scuba dive and ejoy the pleasures of nature and simple peaceful living with a great sense of community.
Thank you for any advice or recommendations on areas of Belize that would suit us.
(also, I'm assuming from what I've read that many people have their own gardens there?)
