On behalf of Subregional Representative Ms. Xiangjun Yao, I submit the FAOSAP proposal for since and innovation forum 2023. This proposal is part of the research work carried out on Water Taro garden to understand its potential in supporting the climate resilient food system and its effectiveness to respond to quick recovery form disaster and climate shocks. During the twin cyclone (March 2023), one of such gardens, provided 3.5 tons of Taro to cyclone affected communities to ensure food supplies. The impact of cyclone on this crop was minimal due to various properties and advantageous locations of such gardens across Vanuatu. The detail proposal is attached for your reference, whereas, other files listed below are placed at the SharePoint.
