    The Solomon Islands’ agricultural sector holds significant potential to drive economic growth and national food security. By addressing current challenges and leveraging available opportunities, the country can transform its agricultural sector into a powerful engine for development. This guide was commissioned by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) under the Capacity Building Related to Multilateral Environmental Agreements in African, Caribbean and Pacific Countries Phase III programme (ACP MEAs 3), funded by the European Union. As part of ACP MEAs 3, field activities were carried out in the Solomon Islands to mainstream biodiversity into the agricultural sector. At the heart of this guide is the Farmer Field Schools (FFSs) approach a participatory method where farmers engage directly in experimenting with new techniques, analysing results and sharing experiences with peers in their fields. This comprehensive guide, the first of its kind in the Pacific region, equips facilitators in Solomon Islands to conduct impactful FFSs focused on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices. It is designed for empowering extension staff, non-governmental organization (NGO) personnel and experienced farmers to become skilled facilitators. The guide goes beyond a simple curriculum, offering a detailed framework for planning, implementing, evaluating and even following up on FFS programmes.

    The unjust climate
    Measuring the impacts of climate change on rural poor, women and youth

    Developing policies to foster inclusive rural transformation processes requires better evidence on how climate change is affecting the livelihoods and economic behaviours of vulnerable rural people, including women, youths and people living in poverty. In particular, there is little comparative, multi-country and multi-region evidence to understand how exposure to weather shocks and climate change affects the drivers of rural transformation and adaptive actions across different segments of rural societies and in different agro-ecological contexts. This evidence is essential because, while climate risk and adaptive actions are context specific and require local solutions, global evidence is important for identifying shared vulnerabilities and priority actions for scaling up effective responses. This report assembles an impressive set of data from 24 low- and middle-income countries in five world regions to measure the effects of climate change on rural women, youths and people living in poverty. It analyses socioeconomic data collected from 109 341 rural households (representing over 950 million rural people) in these 24 countries. These data are combined in both space and time with 70 years of georeferenced data on daily precipitation and temperatures. The data enable us to disentangle how different types of climate stressors affect people’s on-farm, off-farm and total incomes, labour allocations and adaptive actions, depending on their wealth, gender and age characteristics.

    The area available for cultivation is the area that is not damaged and not subject to access restrictions. The damaged area was assessed as of 28 July 2025 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT), based on the cropland dataset for 2023. The area accessible was determined by excluding the so-called no-go areas in place and the areas subject to evacuation orders since 18 March 2025 (the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs [OCHA], July 2025).
