  • Unlocking the Inherent Potential of Plant Genetic Resources: Food Security and Climate Adaptation Strategy in Fiji and the Pacifc
    Environment, Development and Sustainability (2021) 23:14264–14323 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10668-021-01273-8 REVIEW Unlocking the inherent potential of plant genetic resources: food security and climate adaptation strategy in Fiji and the Pacifc Hemalatha Palanivel1 · Shipra Shah2 Received: 20 August 2020 / Accepted: 28 January 2021 / Published online: 17 February 2021 © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. part of Springer Nature 2021 Abstract Pacifc Island Countries (PICs) are the center of origin and diversity for several root, fruit and nut crops, which are indispensable for food security, rural livelihoods, and cultural identity of local communities. However, declining genetic diversity of traditional food crops and high vulnerability to climate change are major impediments for maintaining agri- cultural productivity. Limited initiatives to achieve food self-sufciency and utilization of Plant Genetic Resources (PGR) for enhancing resilience of agro-ecosystems are other seri- ous constraints. This review focuses on the visible and anticipated impacts of climate ge, on major food and tree crops in agriculture and agroforestry systems in the PICs. We argue that crop improvement through plant breeding is a viable strategy to enhance food security and climatic resilience in the region. The exploitation of adaptive traits: abiotic and biotic stress tolerance, yield and nutritional efciency, is imperative in a world threatened by cli- matic extremes. However, the insular constraints of Fiji and other small PICs are major limitations for the utilization of PGR through high throughput techniques which are also cost prohibitive. Crop Improvement programs should instead focus on the identifcation, conservation, documentation and dissemination of information on unique landraces, com- munity seed banks, introduction of new resistant genotypes, and sustaining and enhancing allelic diversity.

  • The Story of a Hurricane: Local Government, Ngos, and Post‐Disaster Assistance
    CDEP‐CGEG WORKING PAPER SERIES CDEP‐CGEG WP No. 86 The Story of a Hurricane: Local Government, NGOs, and Post‐Disaster Assistance Ben Fitch‐Fleischmann and Evan Plous Kresch June 2020 The Story of a Hurricane: Local Government, NGOs, and Post-Disaster Assistance∗ Ben Fitch-Fleischmann Evan Plous Kresch Abstract After catastrophes, international donors offering assistance must decide whether to channel their resources via the local government or non-governmental organizations (NGOs). We examine how these channels differ in the timing, locations, and popula- tions that they assist by combining data on aid received by Nicaraguan households over ten years with municipal election results and an exogenous measure of a catastrophe (Hurricane Mitch). In the short term (0-3 years post), NGOs provided aid accord- ing to hurricane severity with no evidence of political influence, while government aid allocations were unrelated to hurricane severity. Instead, the evidence suggests that short-term government aid was distributed along political lines, though in a nuanced way. The catastrophe also had long-term effects on aid, with households in the disaster area receiving significantly more aid than households in other areas|from both NGOs and the government|in the period 3 to 7 years after the hurricane. Keywords: development aid, non-governmental organizations, climate change, hurricane, Nicaragua JEL classification: Q01, Q54, O12 ∗Fitch-Fleischmann is an energy supply planning manager at NorthWestern Energy; Kresch is an assistant professor of Economics at Oberlin College.
