    This brochure is one output from a two-year Technical Cooperation Programme Project, on strenghtening the national capacities of Pacific Island Countries (PICs) to monitor SDG Target 2.1 using information collected in their most recent or ongoing national Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES). Country profiles on the State of food security and nutrition in each of the targeted countries aims to exploit as much as possible the food data collected in HIES, to derive indicators on food security and nutrition at national level that could inform policies aiming at fighting root causes of Non Communicable Diseases. The target audience is the general public and it is made available for the use of Solomon Islands Government.

    Pathways for food systems transformations and recommendations for decision-makers in Solomon Islands 2022

    Transformation of food systems to be healthier and more sustainable is needed to meet numerous development challenges, including achieving the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals. Successful pathways for food system change will need to engage governments and other stakeholders at local, national, and regional levels, across multiple sectors. More effective cross-sectoral governance institutions will be critical to develop and implement coherent and complementary food systems policies. In Solomon Islands, the food system is influenced by processes and events happening within the country, as well as processes and events in the broader landscape that impact on the production, distribution and consumption of food, such as extreme weather events, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

    This report highlights three main pathways for changing the food system based on consultations and analysis. The pathways include strengthening and connecting rural food systems, enhancing the national policy environment, and advocating for healthy food environments that are accessible, affordable, and convenient. These pathways operate on different scales, ranging from provincial to national inward and outward-looking approaches, but they are interconnected and interact in significant ways. To achieve national prosperity, it is important to prioritize rural and urban areas and establish strong connections between them. The report recognizes areas of strength that are already in place and emphasizes the need to strengthen them further to maintain their positive trajectory.
