The Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face challenges that include geographic isolation, limited land-based resources, high vulnerability to climate change, and a limited agricultural production potential coupled with low productivity and small market size. These make it difficult for local producers to scale operations and compete in broader markets. As a corollary, the region has a high-level food import dependency that limits food diversification and increases the share of processed foods, contributing to unbalanced diets and high incidences of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) due to the increased consumption of highly processed foods with high sugar and fat content. In the context of Pacific SIDS, where the population distribution, economic growth, and access to essential services vary significantly, FAO draws on the Better Life goal to foster sustainable and inclusive development. This paper reports on FAO's Better Life work in the Pacific, and was presented at the 2024 Small Islands Developing States (SIDS) Solutions Forum in Nadi, Fiji from 5-8 November 2024
