Rural resilience: ado rural farmers association's path to sustainable agriculture in Solomon Islands
April 1, 2025 | United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) |
In Malaita Province, Solomon Islands, the Ado Rural Farmers Association (ARFA) is advancing sustainable agriculture through its Sustainable Agro-Forest Nursery Expansion Project. Founded during a period of social unrest, ARFA now trains farmers in nursery management and supplies pest- and climate-resilient seedlings to rehabilitate lands degraded by logging and invasive species. Supported by the UNDP’s Global Environment Facility (GEF) Small Grants Programme and Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), the initiative promotes food security, income generation, and reforestation. ARFA’s success has inspired similar projects across Malaita, fostering a grassroots network for climate adaptation. With future plans including micro-hydropower and academic collaboration, ARFA exemplifies community-driven resilience in the Pacific.
