  • 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.

  • Tropical Cyclone Response in the Banks Islands, Northern Vanuatu
    International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters November 1990. Vol. 8, No. 3, pp. 401-424. DISASTERS AND DEVELOPMENT IN HISTORICAL CONTEXT: TROPICAL CYCLONE RESPONSE IN THE BANKS ISLANDS, NORTHERN VANUATU John R. Campbell Ministry for the Environment Wellington, New Zealand The Banks Islands in northern Vanuatu are prone to tropical cyclones. While a thriuingpopulation appears to haue coped with these events prior to European contact, since then a smallerpopu- lation has struggled to maintain its food security following tropi- cal cyclone events. A number of social, economic, political and resource management changes haue led to a set ofdisasterpre-con- ditions which result independence onexternal food relief following tropical cyclones. Most of these changes have taken place in the interuening years between disasters and haue occurred indepen- dent of the tropical cyclone hazard. However, one set of changes, the provision of food relief itself, has provided the catalyst for the other changes to occur. This paper is an historical study of responses to disaster in a small Pacific Island community. The purpose of thc study is two- fold. First, it seeks to explore the process by which small island communities have become increasingly vulnerable to disasters. Many Pacific Island countries have been affected by severe food shortages following tropical cyclones in rccent years and have become incrcasingly dependent upon injections of relief from for- eign donors. This paper will investigate, from an historical perspec- tive, some of the factors that have led to severe stress on food supplies of a small and relatively isolated island community as a result of tropical cyclone disasters.
