Anglican Missions works with households, communities, and local churches to improve nutrition and food security. Our work focuses on strengthening household food production and livelihoods, enabling families to grow enough nutritious food for their own needs and generate income through local markets.

The reality for many rural communities at the forefront of climate change is that daily food security depends on several factors.
Many factors influence daily food security, including sufficient rainfall for growing nutritious food, agricultural yields, and the impacts of conflicts and natural disasters.
Providing food goes beyond just satisfying hunger- rather, it addresses the systemic inequalities of communities at the forefront of climate change. Communities that previously relied largely on subsistence farming are increasingly impacted by increased temperatures, rising sea levels, and extended periods of drought, resulting in lower yields. These pressures also reduce the nutrition and diversification of crops, placing pressure on health and wellbeing.
Food choices are shaped by culture as well as availability.
Local crops are the foundation for many cultural practices, relationships, and ways of life. In some Pacific contexts, crops such as taro are becoming harder to grow due to rising sea levels and saltwater intrusion. As climate change affects the reliability of these crops, households face difficult choices that are not only economic, but cultural and nutritional.
Our work recognises these realities by supporting food production and livelihoods in ways that respect local preferences, while helping families adapt to changing conditions and maintain healthy diets.
We support training in strategies such as climate resilient crops, drip irrigation, and small-scale diversified gardening to help households cultivate crops more successfully, strengthen nutrition, and build resilience to climate variability.
