Communities and agriculture ministries in Fiji, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu are set to benefit from agriculture Knowledge Hubs that promote climate and disaster risk-resilient farming for better food security, particularly during disaster times.

Knowledge Hubs link with existing networks of community farmers who focus on three activities, to: share farming information such as mixed cropping, to share planting materials, and to work together as a group to establish their demonstration plot to trial sustainable or climate resilient farming systems.

Agriculture departments are connecting with these farmer groups to better coordinate and strengthen the networks by building capacity through training, and by guiding them to better plan for resilient farming practices and interventions – in this way they evolve from ad-hoc farmer groups to coordinated and supported networks known as Knowledge Hubs.
