FIJI: Fiji 2020 Agriculture Sector Policy Agenda: "Modernizing Agriculture"

Fiji 2020 Agriculture Sector Policy Agenda compliments the National Green Growth Framework recently launched in Fiji and represents the first inclusive plan for agriculture development of the country. Indeed, the country requires an inclusive development framework for its agriculture economy to move forward by addressing new domestic and global challenges in line with food security, climate change, feedstock for renewable energy, the utilization of water resources for aquaculture, agriculture export, and the rehabilitation of its traditional agriculture export industries, the sugarcane and the coconut industries. The Agenda provides new dimensions by opening up to global innovations for “climatesmart agriculture” that generate both adaptation and mitigation benefits. The policy also addresses the “sustainable intensification” that will increase production. The underlying objective to be reached by 2020 is: "Establish a diversified and economically and environmentally sustainable agriculture economy in Fiji".

FIJI: Fiji REDD-Plus Policy: Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Fiji

The Fiji REDD+ policy aligns itself with the forest sector goal on sustainable forest management that means a balanced focus on all the seven thematic elements of sustainable forest management which includes: the extent of our forest cover; biological diversity; forest health and vitality; productive functions of forests; protective functions of forests; socio economic functions of forests; and its legal, policy and institutional framework. It also supports the vision in the Forest Policy broadly stated as: “Sustainable well being and prosperity from diversified Forests”. This is based on “The need to overcome the sector’s current focus on timber production and to widen the perspective to a balanced attention to the multiple economic, ecological and social values of Fiji’s forest resources” covering the various thematic areas of sustainable forest management. The Fiji REDD+ policy therefore poses an additional excellent opportunity for Fiji to conserve its forests and at the same time benefit from the continued environmental services from the standing forests, including other benefits through the conservation of its forest biodiversity. The Fiji REDD-Plus Programme aims to have Fiji achieve national REDD-Readiness by 2012 and provide a framework to facilitate access to all available financing instruments for the REDD sector.
