Premier admits Malaita’s land pressure

MALAITA has a growing problem on land use and its sustainability in the years to come therefore organic farming must be emphasised.
Malaita Premier Richard Na’amo was speaking yesterday at the official opening of a new classroom complex and the enrolment of the new students who will be studying at the Fiu-based Permaculture Centre this year.
Mr Na’amo said organic farming is a very important method of farming to allow farmers use land and its resources wisely.
He said what the Asia Pacific Sustainable Development (APSD) centre provided was not only a learning institute but a resource centre for Malaita farmers who are interested in organic farming.
“This centre has provided the much needed training for farmers who can go back and apply the skills in their communities to farm in a more sustainable manner.
“This centre has something to do with the sustainability of the land so that the land can be used over and over again.
“But in Malaita we have a problem of land sustainability.
“The more human beings we have the more pressure we exert on the use of land in terms of cultivating crops and building houses.
“We have a big problem ahead of land degradation if we are not using our land properly given the increasing population of the province.
“Therefore this centre has the role to teach people how to use the land in a more sustainable manner,” he said.
The premier added that Malaita is an agricultural province where many people used the land to cultivate their food and income.
“As such for the future development of the province such training must continue.
“My government will work together with the centre to ensure that most of the farmers are being educated about organic farming,” Mr Naámo, who has an agriculture background, said.
He urged farmers to take advantage of the information and the services that the Solomon Organic Centre provided and put them into practise.
Last year the Permaculture Centre opened the Solomon Organic Centre in Auki where farmers can visit the centre to find out information on organic farming.
