The Land Management Unit of the Ministry of Agriculture and Waterways recently arranged a study visit to Taveuni for a farmer-to-farmer exchange.
The trip lasted for three days, during which the farmers learnt more about the experience and practices adopted by Taveuni farmers to mitigate climate change challenges.
The touring group comprised of 10 farmers from different locations, including five selected from Nakavika in the upper Sigatoka Valley. There were also farmer representatives from Korotari and Matalolo in Labasa.
The team visited the Tutu Training Centre & Teitei Taveuni pilot sites located in Delaivuna, Naselesele, Lavena, and Bouma.
The Ministry hopes that the farmer representatives who attended the farm visit will disseminate everything that they have learned in their communities and also practice them on their farms.
This is one method that communities will be able to improve their farming knowledge and skills in particular on Smart Agriculture Technologies.
