Organic agriculture, simply put, is a system of farming that sustains the health of
soils, ecosystems and people. It is a return to traditional farming without synthetic
chemicals, aided by modern science, tools and technologies.
The Pacific Organic and Ethical Trade Community [POETCom], housed in the Land
Resources Division [LRD] of the Pacific Community (SPC) is the peak body for
organic agriculture in the region. We manage the Pacific Organic Standard and
Guarantee Scheme on behalf of the Pacific Heads of Agriculture and Forestry.
Organic farming includes the potential to access value added niche markets, and
much more. Organics is key to sustaining our Pacific Island cultures and
communities, passing on traditional knowledge and farming practices, improving
farmer livelihoods, people’s health and the environment of our precious Pacific
Islands.
“The post-COVID era is seeing as yet unrealized opportunities for organic
agriculture in the Pacific. Despite the global economic challenges,
tourism in the region is close to pre-COVID levels or higher in some cases,
combined with the increasing costs of importing food and ongoing
interest in health and wellness, resulting in opportunities for local organic
producers in the local market”

International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements production methods, and to foster sharing of knowledge, planting materials and
successes. Each Organic Learning Farm is designed for hands-on, practical
To facilitate the growing interest in, and opportunities for, organics as a solution for teaching of organic production methods including improving soil health/fertility,
climate change adaptation and livelihood development, POETCom has partnered natural pest and weed management, biodiversity expansion, integration of

Network (POLFN). This POLFN regional project is establishing two Organic Learning
Farms in Fiji, Tonga, the Solomon Islands, along with another in Nauru. The Organic Learning Farms Network will be the catalyst to bring
about positive transformational change amidst commercially driven
agriculture that depletes soil and land resources. By building a
network of likeminded smallholder farmers, we strengthen the
collective voice to shift unsustainable status quo and advocate for
progressive policies that protect our limited and overused lands.
