    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.

    As part of the United Nations Food Systems Summit activities, the Solomon Islands Government engaged in discussions on mechanisms for achieving “Food Systems for Health and Wealth”. Food systems are operationalized across multiple government sectors, including Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, Infrastructure, Industry, Trade and Investment, and Finance, and at multiple levels, from national, to provincial, to community. In the Solomon Islands, food systems policies have a strong economic focus, with aims to improve primary production and maximize economic opportunity, particularly through increasing value-adding of agricultural and fisheries products and promoting import substitution.
