Family Farming in the Pacific Islands Countries
Agriculture in the Pacific Island Countries (PICs) is largely dependent on family based small-scaled farms. Smallholder family farmers often have access to less than two hectares (ha) of land and depend on labour supplied by household members, and few other inputs. Despite their small size and limited input resources, family based small-scaled farmers play a vital role in producing food products for family and commercial consumption, employment creation, community development, improving food systems and, protecting the local tradition and rural landscape.
