Pacific farmers are reviving traditional knowledge to tackle a changing climate
Drawing on long-held knowledge, research is helping farmers better adapt to climate challenges like #drought, weed pressure and declining #SoilHealth
By Associate Professor Dorin Gupta, Dr Viliamu Iese and Dr Sineka Munidasa, University of Melbourne, Dr Leslie Ubaub, University of South Pacific and Associate Professor Soane Patolo, #MORDITongaTrust
Published 14 August 2026
Excerpt: " #Taro (Colocasia esculenta) is central to #Samoan diets and #CulturalIdentity and is also an important export crop. It is a carbohydrate-rich staple, consumed both fresh and in processed products like flour, chips, noodles and baby food.
"Current techniques that use chemical #WeedKillers to grow taro are costly and negatively affect soil health and the surrounding environment.
"Now, farmers are trialling alternative weed control methods like #mulching and #SheepGrazing, and then comparing these techniques with traditional #HandWeeding in taro cropping.
"The integration of sheep grazing in particular is a new practice in traditional Samoan taro farming, offering an innovative approach to #WeedManagement.
"The project has also trialled leguminous #AlleyCropping, another relatively new practice in the region, where fast-growing leguminous trees like #Gliricidia, #Sesbania and #Erythrina are planted to generate biological mulch for #WeedSuppression and #SoilEnrichment.
"Mr Sala Sagato, the President of the #SamoaFarmers Association, is hosting one of the sites and has championed mulching."

Gaslighting #RFK Jr.’s role in the deadly #Samoan #measles outbreak | Science-Based Medicine https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/gaslighting-rfk-jr-s-role-in-the-deadly-samoan-measles-outbreak/ “One of many shameful incidents in the life of antivax activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was his promotion of anti-MMR fear mongering during a measles epidemic in Samoa. Now that he could become HHS Secretary, his apologists are frantically trying to gaslight you. Here’s how.”
-
nevermind that huge pile of Samoan children that died of measles after RFK Jr. convinced their parents not to get them vaccinated. also please ignore the fact that he thinks AIDS is a government plot that has nothing to do with HIV. and nevermind that he's promised that the first evils he will combat are water #fluoridation and #chemtrails.
and finally, whatever you do, definitely don't look into what the man has to say about covid-19 and the jews.

The river thing was interesting. Hey, points to Paris for trying to mix things up a little. Though I will say the boat parade (hello MAGA) was a bit of a let down. There's something really nice about seeing every nation come in, their flag bearer right out in front waving it with all the pride in the world, and the athletes all waving and taking pictures. You get much better close ups and can see the "I'm here. I'm really here, mom!" looks on their faces. It kind of had all the excitement of watching someone else's booze cruise from a dock. Did the Samoan flag carrier not come in shirtless this time?

Robert Louis Stevenson’s #shortstory “The Bottle Imp” was first published (in English) #OTD, 8 Feb 1891, in the New York Herald. It was originally published in #Samoan translation as “O le Fagu Aitu” in the missionary magazine O le sulu Samoa (The Samoan Torch)

Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month!

I do not have Pacific Islander ancestry myself, but I have been practicing the Samoan art of Siva Afi (fireknife dancing) for 12 years. I worked with world-champion fireknife dancers, Samoan speakers, and a Samoan artist to create a card game about it:

I love the #Moana soundtrack, but in particular love the #Samoan and #Tokelauan bits. I'm using music apps to explore the artists connected to the soundtrack, but if you have recommendations for singers, poets, or storytellers in either of those languages (or in #Fijian, #NaNosaVakaViti, which has a special place in my heart), please share them with me 💛
