dc.description.abstract |
The Marshall Islands, once self sufficient in food production, have become
dependent on imported foods. In addition to the economic problems created by this
situation, the Marshallese people suffer a high incidence of malnutrition and diet-related
diseases.
In an effort to address these problems, the Ministry of R&D, Agriculture Division
has developed its Replanting for Self-Reliance Program with the following goals:
• Promote opportunities for increased production of basic staple crops.
• Promote higher yielding varieties of root crops and improved fruit tree varieties.
• Provide training and technical assistance in the crop scheme. |
