Growing resilient communities in Solomon Islands

Solomon Islands is one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries, with rising sea levels and storms destroying homes and crops.

At Save the Children, we're working with local farmers to learn more about climate-smart agriculture, implementing practical skills they can apply in demonstration gardens. Young people, like Junior, 16, and his family, are taught how to make their gardens more resilient. They use techniques such as shading plants with leaves and grass to protect them from intense sun and planting legumes to improve soil fertility.

Watch the video to see Junior in action as he demonstrates how he uses these skills in the kitchen. He’ll share how growing resilient crops like kumara is helping his family adapt to the changing climate, while also giving you a taste of his community's traditional dishes.
