Abstract

The workshop addressed the sustainabilily of island agroecosystems in general and explored how information science and technology can enhancc the biophysical, economic, and societal integrity of small island slates. There was unanimous agreement tiiat the ecosystems of many islands are in jeopardy and that litis dilemma can be traccd to three underlying causes: misguided value systems, flawed modes of thought, and dysfunctional institutions. New paradigms, strategies, and tactics need to be developed. The workshop participants therefore recouuncndcd, inter alia, the establishment of information exchange networks; tlie generation and harmonization of an improved data and knowledge base for applying systems technology, participatory approaches; human resource development and people empowerment; and new institutional and policy frameworks. A task force was constituted and charged with implementing the recommendations and donor agencies arc currently being approached for funding of a workshop to drall a comprehensive project proposal. Detailed information is provided in the published workshop proceedings.
