Abstract

Food and nutrition insecurity continue to increase in the Pacific. Nutrition-sensitive agricultural approaches that work across the entire food system focusing on short supply chains for local markets, production, post-harvest handling, processing, retailing and consumption for health outcomes are needed to improve environmental and socioeconomic outcomes. This project worked to transform seaweed fisheries into a nutrition-sensitive food system comprised of short supply chains, village-based processing, targeted use of natural resources and marketing for families. The project developed and evaluated gender-inclusive activities in Samoa, to focus seaweed production on the direct benefits to the health and wellbeing of communities.
