‘White flour, white sugar, white rice, white salt’: Barriers to achieving food and nutrition security in Kiribati
2021, Food PolicyCitation Excerpt :Food and Agriculture Organisation, 2010; Savage et al., 2019; Pérez et al., 2016) Over the latter half of the 20th century the globalisation and lifestyle changes led to significant declines in local food production, fishing and agriculture, with an increasing reliance on nutrient-poor imported foods that has driven an increase in noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in Pacific communities. ( King et al., 1984; Thaman, 1992; Thaman, 1995; McGregor et al., 2009; Snowdon et al., 2013) Obesity, diabetes, hypertension and cerebrovascular diseases are increasingly common causes of premature deaths in the Pacific, (Food and Agriculture Organisation, 2012; Charlton et al., 2016; World Health Organization, 2010) and are among the leading causes of ill-health and disability across the region. ( Hawley and McGarvey, 2015; World Health Organisation, 2013)
Spatial patterns of presence, abundance, and richness of invasive woody plants in relation to urbanization in a tropical island setting
2020, Urban Forestry and Urban GreeningCitation Excerpt :Built areas not directly on the King’s Highway are peri-urban residential areas and informal settlements, interspersed with undeveloped areas which are often under traditional shifting agriculture. There is significant dependence on urban food gardening in domestic gardens and on otherwise unused land in Suva urban and peri-urban areas (Thaman, 1987, 1995; personal observation, B.J.L.). The less built peri-urban areas are dominated by farms, as are the rural areas outside of Nausori.

2014, Habitat InternationalCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, in many developing country contexts, the benefits are even more pronounced than as described for Kalkallo. For example Thaman (1995) has indicated how UPA in the Pacific Island context is an “economically, socially, technologically and nutritionally appropriate means of bringing about sustainable national development and promoting food security”. In Hyderabad, India, recycling of wastewater for irrigation purposes also helps to somewhat addresses the urban-agriculture conflict relating to water (van Rooijen, Biggs, Smout, & Drechsel, 2010).
