PART B_2

South Pacific countries
In the South Pacific countries, the demand and availability of protein-rich food such as meat and dairy have been increasing. Meanwhile, the number of imports of unhealthy processed foods has also increased. This has resulted in a lot of countries fighting both under- and overnutrition.
The increase in demand for imported goods such as canned meats, instant noodles, and cereals affected the number of locally-produced plants and animals that people consume. This means that the people from these countries get enough food to eat but they are not eating healthy. Because of this, a lot of children suffer from micronutrient deficiency. In addition to that, the number of people who have obesity, diabetes, and heart disease has been increasing.
The majority of people living in rural areas in the South Pacific still depend on fishing and farming. Moreover, cultivated crops such as sweet potatoes, bananas, and watermelons are an important part of their rural diet. Meanwhile, producing enough food to feed the increasing population is also a challenge for them due to limited land that is suitable for growing crops.
The problem of food production is also affected by poor transport systems and storage infrastructure. They make it difficult for farmers to deliver products to the market or to engage in trading that might expand food choices.
