    As part of the SIDS Solutions Forum, 30-31 August 2021, FAO collected innovations and creative digital technologies that respond to local problems and challenges. Many Pacific Islands rely on imported foods, which often negatively impact the health and nutrition of the local population and which increase the occurence of obesity, diabetes and other non-communicable diseases. This flyer describes the production of flour from breadfruit, banana, taro and cassava, that can be consumed locally or exported. The producers are exploring possibilities to use the waste from food processing to make coconut wood and produce energy. The initiative is supporting sustainable livelihoods for farmers who had lost their incomes due to the COVID-19 crisis.
