    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 use of digital technologies in the agriculture and fisheries sectors of the Pacific is still in its infancy. As a result, farmers in SIDS, especially those in remote locations, have difficulties accessing actors along the value chain and in international markets. This flyer presents a platform for agriculture value chain stakeholders to connect with one another, and access information as well as simple digital tools for improved farm management.

    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. Fiji has very low digital literacy, making online delivery a challenge for people who are not aware of, and not using, mobile technologies. However, online delivery had become strategic during the COVID-19 global pandemic. This flyer presents a system of manual ordering which allows customers to order directly from any restaurant that they chose. The restaurants slowly built and managed their online profiles. The platform has since been extended to deliver medicines, groceries and other necessities to customers.
