Building local community capacity for sustainable land management and food security
Project Brief Description: Lowland natural forest habitat are largely modified into agricultural. With the frequent cyclones
that damaged much of the coconuts trees and cattle infrastructures, the areas were abandoned and left vested with
weeds. The project will integrate science into traditional subsistence taro gardening and livestock rearing to improve land
productivity management for food security. At the same time reduce deforestation for new farming area.
