Protecting food security through adaptation to climate change in Melanesia.

The Farm Technology Handbook aims to provide a range of traditional and innovative technologies that make a positive contribution to strengthening food security in Melanesia in response to climate change. It is written for farmers and field or extension workers, teachers and those who work with farmers. This innovative resource was written by farmers and field workers, who worked alongside local illustrators to develop this guide.

There are two other resources in which work together to support and educate on climate change and food security. They can be used together or separately depending on the needs of the community.

Leadership Manual, Protecting food security through adaptation to climate change in Melanesia

The purpose of the Leadership Manual is to assist leaders in the community to strengthen local agriculture for climate change. Leaders will be equipped with information and lessons to raise awareness, identify vulnerabilities and plan actions at the community level. The manual is written as a companion to be used with the Farm Technology Handbook and the Fact Sheets. The manual includes references to some specific farmer technologies.

Fact Sheets

The set of fact sheets promote simple, innovative and low-cost technologies for climate change adaptation and food security. They can be distributed as a set or given out individually to suit farmers’ needs.
