Slide2Pacific islands FOOD SYSTEM challengesThe food system of Pacific Island countries is undergoing profound changes that will be felt for generations to come.Nutritional security is being challenged by rapid population growth and urbanization, shortages of arable land, and cheap, low-quality food imports from burgeoning global trade. High dependency on imported foods that are energy-dense and nutritionally poor. Reliance on imported foods makes
many PICs very vulnerable
to variation in supply and cost
.
Fish
stocks are expected to be directly affected by any changes that may occur in the ocean’s ecosystem.
Warming
waters would harm coral reefs and vital fish habitats.
The
state of the coastal fisheries in Vanuatu is near maximum capacity. Our demand for fish will greatly exceed the capacity of coastal systems to produce
.
Changes
in temperature and rainfall would also impact the farming industry due to an increased risk of infestation by pests and diseases in many staple and export crops
.
Slide3Regional fisheries and agriculture strategies and connections to tourism industryAlthough tourism is the lifeblood of many Pacific economies and agritourism and provides a promising avenue for diversification and trade growth, PICs economies are determined by size of land, geographical location, diversification of resources, and resource limitation. Regional disconnection between regional organizations, including regional fisheries and agriculture strategies to tourismRegional agriculture policies focus on strategies to increase and sustain agriculture production for food security, nutrition supply, and value adding purposes for export marketsRegional fisheries policies focus on strategies to sustainably management and develop fisheries resources for food security, nutrition supply, and value adding for export markets Regional disconnection impacts establishment of connections at national level to tourism industry
