Promoting Local Food Production in Tuvalu

Promoting Local Food Production in Tuvalu is one of nine country-specific videos in the series ‘Climate Change Adaptation – the Pacific Way’, produced by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community through the €11.4 million European Union funded Global Climate Change Alliance: Pacific Small Island States (GCCA: PSIS) project. In the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu serious efforts are underway to increase domestic food security and, therefore, community resilience to climate variability and change. One such effort is the European Union-funded Global Climate Change Alliance: Pacific Small Island Stated project currently being implemented by the Government of Tuvalu with assistance from the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC). It aims to strengthen the capacity of the Ministry of Natural Resources to promote integrated farming practices that combine agricultural crops with fruit bearing trees.
