The Climate Resilient Home Gardening guide is written for Pacific communities looking to expand or improve their home gardens. By using the information in this guide families can build their knowledge on growing an abundance of fresh and nutritious vegetables.
The guide compliments face-to-face training on the use of several technologies including; Biofilta Foodcubes, wicking beds, keyhole gardens and raided garden beds. Using these techniques will help families produce as much healthy produce as possible, contributing to food security and climate resilience.
Climate Resilient Home Gardening was created as part of Live & Learn’s Atoll Food Futures project, which is funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

This Rapid Assessment of Perceptions (RAP) report presents the perceptions of eight island communities of Tuvalu towards their capacity to review local food resources through the uptake of adaptive and appropriate food producing techniques to increase their resilience to climate change and consumption of local foods.
The purpose of this report is to guide effective community engagement and design approaches for the Tuvalu Food Futures Project. The scope of perceptions arising during the course of the RAP activities was very wide.
RAP participants shared a wealth of information, including changes in food quality, stability, nutrition and access, and attitudes toward their current lived experience and ideas for security food sources for the future.
The Atoll Food Futures Program is an Australian Aid initiative, implemented by Live & Learn Environmental Education on behalf of the Australian Government.
