Welcome

This website highlights the work currently being undertaken in Solomon islands by a team of researchers from Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia under a research programme for the

Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR).

There is currently one project within the ACIAR forestry programme in Solomon Islands:

FST/2014/066: Improving returns from Community teak plantings in Solomon Islands

The project seeks to promote: the use of agroforestry in Solomon Islands for the growing of high value timber trees; the growing of trees for local use; the sustainable rehabilitation of degraded forests and the development of a sustainable smallholder forestry industry. The philosophy underpinning this approach is the use of agroforestry to provide sustainable incomes for growers through the life of the plantation, not just at the harvesting of the trees.

The project is funded by the

Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research

and is led by a team from the

Environmental Futures Research Institute

at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia.
