Minister of Agriculture and Livestock (MAL) Franklyn Wasi has acknowledged this year’s organisers of the World Food Day event.
The 2025 World Food Day celebration was marked at the Heritage Park Hotel on Monday this week themed “Hand in Hand for Better Food and a Better Future”.
The theme highlighted the need for governments, organizations, communities, and individuals to work together to transform agrifood systems.
To top this event were the launch of MAL’s first-ever Agriculture National Advisory Council (ANAC), and MAL’s Corporate Plan 2025–2028.
The Agriculture National Advisory Council (ANAC) is a landmark initiative that aims to strengthen leadership, coordination, and modernisation across the agriculture sector.
Wasi said that the new Corporate Plan provides a clear roadmap to guide agricultural development and modernisation over the next four years.
He adds that it aligns with the Solomon Islands Government’s national vision for inclusive economic growth, food security, and improved rural livelihoods.
He said the plan is a reflection of the government’s renewed commitment to modernise agriculture, empower farmers, and ensure sustainability of the country’s natural resources.
Minister Wasi said that MAL through the government is focusing on transforming the sector to become more resilient, inclusive, and productive in the years ahead.
“I would like to acknowledge everyone who contributed to organising this event, the staff of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, our partners, exhibitors, and participants. Let us continue to work together hand in hand for better food, better health, and a better life and future for our beloved Solomon Islands. God bless us and bless Solomon Islands from shore to shore,” Minister Wasi said.
