Grow Local Eat Local

The “Grow Local, Eat Local” initiative in Palau is a government-backed effort aimed at revitalizing traditional agricultural practices and promoting the consumption of locally sourced foods.

By encouraging the cultivation of native crops like taro, yam, and tropical fruits, alongside the sustainable harvest of fresh seafood, the initiative seeks to preserve Palauan cultural heritage while addressing modern health challenges.

This movement not only supports local farmers and fishers but also fosters healthier communities by reducing reliance on imported, processed foods.

Through “Grow Local, Eat Local,” Palau is nurturing a future where tradition and well-being thrive hand in hand.
