In this episode, we meet a Solomon Islander from Makira Province who's working to convince his community about the health benefits of growing more local foods to replace the increasing reliance on processed foods like rice, flour and sugar. Many Pacific nations are struggling to tackle an epidemic of Western health problems, like heart disease and diabetes, which are linked to changes in diet from increased access to processed foods like rice, flour and sugar. And charming New Zealand songstress Moana Maniapoto talks about her band, Moana and The Tribe, protecting Maori culture and sharing it with the world through music.
