“Universities have always had the responsibility of teaching and research. However, there is another equally important responsibility, to serve society by taking knowledge, innovation, and expertise into the communities where they are needed most. SPEDI (South Pacific Extension and Development Institute) represents FNU’s commitment to fulfilling that responsibility.

It provides a pathway to connect research with practice, knowledge with communities, innovation with opportunity, and education with sustainable development. For too long, our region has faced a challenge - where valuable research and innovations do not always reach the farmers, communities, and entrepreneurs who need them most. SPEDI is designed to address this gap.”

“The land and its natural resources must be managed, safeguarded and protected. As academics, researchers, members of non-governmental organisations and growers, we are all custodians of knowledge with a shared responsibility to preserve and strengthen it. This Landcare Conference is not only about caring for the land, but also about safeguarding the knowledge that underpins sustainable land management. It is our duty to pass that knowledge on to the next generation of leaders, researchers, growers and farmers across Fiji and the Pacific, empowering them to protect, nurture and sustain our land for generations to come.”

Thank you Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research for your ongoing support of RMIT University Fiji National University

“Our approach is based on co-creating knowledge by combining scientific evidence, local experience and community leadership to develop solutions that are practical, locally owned and enduring; that is why land care matters. Land care empowers communities to work together, learn together, and take collective action to improve livelihoods while caring for the landscapes on which they depend.”

As the name says....Landcare is caring for the land, biodiversity and it's people

“Today’s conference comes at an important time for Fiji and for our Pacific region. For us as iTaukei people, the vanua is far more than the land beneath our feet. It is our identity, our history, our culture and our way of life. It connects our people, our traditions and our future.

When communities care for the land, the land continues to care for the community.”

Chief Guest, the former President of the Republic of Fiji, na Gone Turaga Bale na Tui Macuata, Ratu Wiliame Maivalili Katonivere
