Resumen
Descripción
Agroforestry systems – the intentional integration of trees with agricultural crops and/or animals – can reconcile food security and environmental protection goals. In the Pacific region, traditional agroforestry systems are still important production models, making up to 23.8 percent of the total agricultural land. The diversified nature of these systems enhances resilience and can enable communities to attain high levels of food self-sufficiency and nutrition, even in the face of climate change, without compromising the underlying natural support systems. Agroforestry systems also represent significant cultural heritage due to the traditional and indigenous knowledge and values they encompass. Enhancing and scaling-up agroforestry can significantly contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper covers Agrofoestry in the Pacific, and reports on FAO Subregional Office for the Pacific progress on Agroforestry, to be presented at the 2024 Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Solutions Forum, held in Nadi, Fiji in November 2024.
