BackOperation
Contributing to regional initiatives on the Agriculture-Food-Health trio
This operation aims to develop a sustainable and resilient food culture in the Pacific islands, based on the practices and experience of OCTs and ACP countries, to create a “sustainable and resilient Pacific island food systems” approach.
2 actions
The goal of this action is to hold three regional meetings with workshops, demonstrations, conferences, discussions and sharing on a rotating basis in each OCT. Such exchanges/sharing are devised as “cross-pollination” of good regional practice to make it possible to address several specific themes related to the host country, e.g. food and local agencies (canteens, companies, etc.), food and tourism (agro-tourism, “farm to table”, etc.), food and health, food and climate incidents (resilience, etc.) This involves both promoting the quality of the meals prepared based on local products, communicating on experiences within the different countries and territories, proposing practical solutions (recipes, supply, etc.) and creating synergies and working habits
between those involved in the value chain (consumers, processors, producers) in order to increase the percentage of local products eaten..
This action is designed to support sharing of good food practices with all those involved in the value chain in the three OCTs and the ACP countries by putting data, information, recipes/filmed tutorials, contacts, technical factsheets, “raw food plants and multi-sector processed products” databases, etc. on-line.
