INTRODUCTION

GOAL: To improve food security, increase trade and assist the Pacific community to be more prosperous, healthy and manage their agriculture and forest resources in a sustainable way.

OBJECTIVES:1. Sustainable management of integrated agriculture and

forestry systems2. Improved biosecurity and trade facilitation

WHAT WE DO

Improved Biosecurity and Trade Facilitation

Output 2.1 National capacity to comply with international and regional standards related to trade strengthened

PICTs able to develop commodity pathways and process market access requests. Personnel from Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Cook Is,Solomon Is and PNG, complete IMPEXTEK 16 week training attachments

Development of Organics Standards IFAD / IFOAMField testing of the Fiji and Vanuatu forest certification standards;

start made to developing the f.c. stds for Sol Is


Output 2.1 National capacity to comply with international and regional standards related to trade strengthened

PICTs have access to 4 new Anthracnose resistant yam varieties from Nigeria;

Regional trade facilitation enhanced by regional compilation of PICTs trade statistics in collaboration with FAO;

PICTs border control strengthened equipment supply & capacity building.


Output 2.2 Strengthened national capacity to undertake econ & fin analysis of opportunities for increased trade

Tuvalu & Samoa has capacity to use production/innovation systemfor evaluation of Noni (ASTI);

Methodology for commodity chain studies developed with FAO collaboration Kiribati breadfruit, Fiji vegetables, fruits and Vanuatu nangali nuts;

Economic justifications for use of commodity pathway systems for biosecurity & trade facilitation established - Fiji est benefits FJD 300,000 NPV.


Output 2.3 Sustainable and efficient post-harvest technologies developed and promoted

Timber milling efficiency for PNG, Sol Is, Fiji expected to eventually improve with pre-project proposal for ITTO having been approved and full proposal submitted;

Tonga timber utilization to improve equipment provision, CB on tree felling, log peeling, drying;

PICTs able to use hot water quarantine treatment for taro - mites, wire worms, nematodes.


Output 2.4 Improved information on plant and animal health status

Farmers receive better advice: PICT ext officers use of TaroPest portal - waterproof for field

use & electronic version for office use;Paravets knowledge kept up to date - PAHIS harmonized with

OIE/FAO database.Improved biosecurity & trade negotiation capacity - Surveys for:

pests & diseases Sol Is; viruses Tonga; nematode Rennell Sol Is & Kiribati; viruses FSM, RMI, Palau and Guam; fruit fly survey Pitcairn Is and other PICTs

New collaboration with BMZ, OIE/FAO, IFAD, Expansion phase Regional Programme for Food Security (RPFS)

Some new initiatives

Positioning PICTs to maximize benefits from the ITPGRFA and Global Crop Diversity Trust (GCDT)

Diversity of PGRFA is crucial for food crop production;ITPGRFA conservation and sustainable use of PGRFA and

equitable access and benefit sharing;ITPGRFA Governing Board approved to go into agreement with

CePaCT to place PGRFA of Annex 1 crops in MLS;GCDT offer of funds for perpetuity for conservation of yams and

food aroids;Establishment of seed bank & agreement with AVRDC for

exchange of FGR and PGRFA respectively.


Centers of Excellence for Atoll AgricultureAs activities under RMI and Kiribati JCSs Kiribati & RMI LGI

agree to collaborate with LRD, with possible support by US;A R&D programme has been developed jointly with RMI, Kiribati

& IFAD;IFAD supported activities start 2008 in Kiribati;GTZ Climate Change Adaptation & Mitigation will provide

support to initiative in RMI.


Climate Change and Food Security

Farmers expected to have access to food crops and trees that have desired traits (e.g. drought and salt tolerance). A Climate Change ready germplasm collection selected from within and outside the region, is being developed;

BMZ CC adaptation & mitigation project proposal;FAO EP RPFS Regional interventions on CC AM (PGRFA, Land

degradation) & trade facilitation.

Country focal points facilitate work in the field Utilise trained community facilitators such as DSAP GREAS and CETC graduates Build up capacity of CETC graduates to expand skills in extension, IKM and publications for community training Contract NGOs for field programmes when LRD personnel are unavailable Use existing PRA findings as basis for support and carry out community needs assessments for communities identified for assistance Support & strengthen community based organisations (CBOs) for implementation and M&E of activities Set up community management teams if necessary Utilise successful farmers or entrepreneurs as resource persons in community trainings and awareness programmes Develop and utilise community ICT such as tele-centres Utilise DSAP GREAS or committee members to translate information into vernacular

Management of LRD website (including individual thematic groups webpage) and production of quarterly newsletter Utilise regional media - magazines (Island Business, in-flight magazines etc.), radio (ABC, Radio NZ, etc), TV (Pacific way, Fiji TV has regional coverage), electronic news (PacNews, network websites), regional events (games, arts festival etc.) Strengthen Agriculture and Forestry component in TVET

Upscale DSAP information centres to cater for LRD Involvement in national events (like World Food Day) to promote LRD objectives Part of the local media network and established contacts Establish communication channels with educational and training institutions to encourage information exchange & work attachments Utilise local celebrities for promotion & awareness raising

Strengthen and utilise regional networks based within LRD PIEN, PAPGREN, PAFPNet Collaborate with other CROP and regional agencies re: field implementation, information dissemination, etc. Develop best practices in extension, community training, IKM, and community-based approaches for sustainable agriculture and forestry development Strengthen and utilise regional experts

Upscale DSAP national steering committee for LRD activity coordination or establish national steering committees (decision-making level) where DSAP SC not working Contract local experts on short-term basis to coordinate and facilitate implementation of programmes Collaborate with other SPC sections (such as CETC, Health) for organised, structured, and holistic approach Utilise PAPGREN focal points
