FIJI will need to broaden the cultivation and diversity of its crops to provide protection against future epidemics and natural disasters, says a regional farmer's organisation.
The Pacific Islands Farmers Organisation Network (PIFON), an umbrella organisation for Farmer Organisations (FO) in the Pacific, stated the urgent need for such an approach because pressures of climate change, natural disasters, declining soil fertility, and the NCDs epidemic are being experienced in the Pacific region.
