National Food Security Policy 2017-2027
(2017)The National Agriculture and Livestock Policy provide the basis to make PNG agriculture more resilient to climate change. It identifies and adopts new varieties of crops, especially thermal resistant crops and alternative cropping pat-terns, capable of withstanding extremes of whether, long dry spells, flooding, and variable moisture availability. Agricul-ture will need to be progressively adapted to projected climate change and our agricultural research systems must be ori-ented to monitor and evaluate climate change and recommended changes in agriculture practices accordingly.

National Strategy for Responsible Sustainable Development for Papua New Guinea
(2014)The Vision 2050 aimed at positioning PNG to be among the top 50 countries on Human Development Index by 2050, while the Development Strategic Plan is aimed at achieving the status of a prosperous middle income country by 2030.

But, as directed by the national constitution, we need to focus on long term development for achieving growth, equity and sustainability for the benefit of our present and future generations.
