[pima.nius] Coming up on Pacific Pulse this weekend

4:51 PM |

For immediate release
Pacific Pulse
one ocean – many stories
Pacific Pulse ventures beyond the headlines with feature stories from Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia that reflect contemporary life across the Pacific and recognise the strengths, hopes, achievements and aspirations of the region.
 
Episode 12
 
In this episode of Pacific Pulse, we meet a Solomon Islander from Makira Province who's working to convince his community about the health benefits of growing more local foods to replace the increasing reliance on processed foods like rice, flour and sugar.  Many Pacific nations are struggling to tackle an epidemic of Western health problems, like heart disease and diabetes, which are linked to changes in diet from increased access to processed foods like rice, flour and sugar.  And charming New Zealand songstress Moana Maniapoto talks about her band, Moana and The Tribe, protecting Maori culture and sharing it with the world through music.
