Abstract / Content summary	This report presents the findings of a study of village agriculture conducted in Bougainville Province of Papua New Guinea in September-October 2002.The purpose of the study was to identify problems with current land use for subsistence food production; to assess the sustainability of village food production systems; to identify locations where stress is now occurring or may occur in the medium term (5-15 years); to assess the likely impact of increased cash cropping on food production; and to make recommendations for research and development activities to address any problems identified. Most parts of the province were visited over a six week period. Discussions were held with villagers in both formal and informal meetings, and numerous food gardens and plots of cash crops were inspected. [Part of Summary]
