Smallholder farmers are the foundation of food production across the Pacific, yet they remain among the most vulnerable to the accelerating impacts of climate change. Rising sea levels, shifting rainfall patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events threaten agricultural livelihoods and food security.
Through the partnership between the Government of Kiribati, the Government of Australia (DFAT), the International Fund of Agricultural Development (IFAD), Live & Learn (L&L), The Pacific Community (SPC), Change for Getting Things Started (C4GTS) and the Hawaii Farm to School Network (HF2SN) the inaugural Pacific Atoll Food Summit (PAFS) took place from 13 to 16 October in Tarawa, Kiribati.
