Descripción
The AROB is historically known for its rich mineral resources, particularly the Panguna mine, which in the 1960s was the largest open-cut mine in the world. However, the mine's abrupt closure in 1989 due to civil unrest left the region in economic distress, underscoring the need to explore alternative, sustainable sources of livelihood. In response, AROB has recognized the importance of transitioning towards renewable resources, which can provide food and nutrition security, generate income, and support economic independence. The AROB is abundant in agriculture, forestry, land, and marine resources, which are vital for the livelihoods of its population. In alignment with these goals, the FAO has supported the DPIMR in crafting the Bougainville Food Security Policy Framework (BFSP) for 2022-2032. This framework is designed to secure food and nutrition for Bougainville, emphasizing rural growth, gender equity, and environmental conservation. The BFSP's overarching vision is to transform Bougainville into a food and nutrition secure, prosperous nation with a high quality of life.
