    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. This flyer presents a hot air dryer for roots and tubers. Local food losses are mainly due to poor infrastructure, power outages, extreme weather conditions, and high transport costs. Traditional processing and preservation are of limited value in extending the shelf life of food. The hot air dryer extends the shelf life of products. This technology supports farmers in fulfilling their consumption needs throughout the year, producing a surplus, and selling the extra to the market. This food processing technology has also helped extend value chains to urban centres and between islands.

    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. This flyer presents the successful innovation in response to the movement restrictions imposed in response to COVID-19, which have considerably restricted sales and purchase of vegetables and merchandise at the marketplace. A farmer decided to offer a new service to buyers by selling a basket of different types of food at a fixed price and delivering them direct to households.

    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. The coconut (Cocos nucifera), or “Tree of Life,” is one of the most important traditional crops in Fiji. Coconut insect pests and diseases affect the quality and quantity of nut production, especially the coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB), Oryctes rhinoceros (L). This flyer presents a GPS tracking system that tracks pheromone (ethyl-4-methyl octanoate) bucket traps to ssist in attracting, trapping and killing adult beetles.
