Climate Change and Pacific Island Food Systems - The future of food, farming and fishing in the Pacific islands under a changing climate

The food systems of the Pacific region are undergoing massive changes that will be felt for generations to come. Profound changes need to be applied to the food systems in order to deal with challenges such as rapid population growth, urbanisation and the importing of cheap, but nutritionally poor, foods. These challenges are causing some of the highest levels of obesity and non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes, in the world.
