Abstract
This bibliographic study is a part of a range of strategic approaches used in a feasibility study on the status, constraints and solutions in the production, marketing and consumption of nutritious food crops in Fiji. The primary objective of this annotated bibliography is to assist in the identification of pre- and post-production activities on food crops that have received considerable research and development emphasis and, conversely, highlight those important areas that have received inadequate emphasis and require greater focus and more action. The scope of the bibliography includes published and unpublished (mimeograph) documents on research and development activities that are readily accessible or available to us. These documents report on work carried out in relation to all aspects of production, marketing and consumption of nutritious food crops in Fiji. An attempt was made to scan publications from the early years of European visitations to Fiji in the 1860s until the present. However, this literature survey is not exhaustive, as many publications are unavailable or inaccessible. For similar reasons, some citations were not annotated. Annotations were also not provided in a few cases where the title is self-explanatory, as in the cases of a number of pamphlets and lists that are included. An attempt is also made to include associated literature from other Pacific countries where it is relevant to food and agriculture in Fiji.
