海藻是整个太平洋地区的食物来源。然而，基里巴斯在饮食中使用海藻的历史并不悠久，尽管有可靠的当地食用海藻。2018年至2019年期间，基里巴斯举办了一系列由同行领导的海藻培训讲习班，为妇女提供了参与海藻供应链所需的知识、技能和激励支持，从收获、加工、营销到消费。这项研究旨在确定支持妇女参与整个海藻供应链的机会和推动因素。对49名妇女进行了结构化访谈，探讨了她们参与供应链的兴趣和预期成本和收益。人们对大多数与海藻有关的活动都很感兴趣，主要动机是为自己和家人提供健康和营养。与会者还对发展和分享新技能感兴趣，并看到了创收的潜力。然而，也有明显的障碍，包括希望在海藻收获、加工和配方创造方面进一步培训;额外的社会支持;以及公共宣传。鉴于基里巴斯的自然资源和妇女参与发展这一新的食用海藻供应链的愿望，现在需要进行能力发展，以在更广泛的社区建立社会和经济福祉以及粮食安全。其他同行培训机会可以考虑其他太平洋岛屿，在那里海藻已经是一种传统食物。
Seaweeds are a source of food throughout the Pacific region. Kiribati, however, does not have a strong history of using seaweed in their diets, despite having reliable access to indigenous edible seaweeds. A series of peer-led seaweed training workshops held in Kiribati between 2018 and 2019 provided women with knowledge, skills, and motivational support needed to engage in the seaweed supply chain, from harvesting, processing, and marketing to consumption. This study aimed to identify opportunities and enablers to support women’s participation across the seaweed supply chain. Structured interviews with 49 women explored their interest and expected costs and benefits from involvement in the supply chain. There was high interest in most seaweed-related activities and the key motivators were health and nutrition for themselves and their family. Participants were also interested in developing and sharing new skills and saw the potential for income generation. However, there were also clear barriers including a desire for further training in seaweed harvesting, processing, and recipe creation; additional social support; and in public promotion. Given the natural resources and desire of women to engage in developing this new edible seaweed supply chain in Kiribati, there is now a need for capacity development to build social and economic wellbeing and food security across the broader community. Additional peer-to-peer training opportunities may look to other Pacific Islands where seaweed is already an established and traditional food.
