Enhanced Climate Change Resiliency of Food Production Systems in Selected Pacific Island Countries

Description:

Vanuatu is one of the six countries that were selected as pilot project countries for the SPC/USAID project titled “Vegetation and land cover mapping and improving food security for building resilience to a changing climate in Pacific island communities”.

The main objective of the assessment was to conduct climate change vulnerability assessments on the

land based agricultural production systems and identify adaptation measures to the impacts of climate

change. More specifically:

1. Assess the degree of vulnerability to climate change on food productions systems in Ureparapara;

2. Assess food security situation in Ureparapara;

3. Identify adaptation measures to the impacts of climate change on food production systems.
