most intentionally-planted food crops are grown inland and upslope while lowland
food plants largely grow wild.
Another aspect of climate change affecting Ono is the rise in temperature which
here, as elsewhere in Fiji and the tropical Pacific Islands (Nunn and Kumar 2019b;
Scott-Parker and Kumar 2018), means people are less able to work as long as
customary during the hottest times of the day. Conversely, Ono residents report
that warming temperatures on the island over the past decade have enabled them to
plant kava whereas this was not possible before.
