Agricultural research and development on small islands & atolls: the Papua New Guinea experience (pdf 190kb)
This article discusses the research and development strategy adopted by the National Agricultural Research Institute in Papua New Guinea to strengthen food security in Papua New Guinea's small islands and atolls.Given that the prospects for export-oriented agriculture and industrial development in small islands and in atoll countries are severely limited, the solution to strengthening food security, according to this article, is to undertake research and development strategies that focus on improving subsistence agriculture and, where possible, cash income opportunities.
