Research on climate change and the impact on food security needs to incorporate changes in perspectives and priorities that came up in the past 30 years with emerging new paradigms in the field of food security research The challenges ahead, when looking at climate change and its impact on food security for the societies of Pacific Islands, is to embrace more holistic community-based approaches that take into account cultural, social, environmental and economic realities of small island societies that continue to depend on a mix of subsistence and commercial economy. It is particularly necessary for disciplines that have played a major role in food security discourses in the past (and need and will do this also in future) to embrace the paradigm changes of the past 30 years. Sadly, many science disciplines are not fully aware of how issues of food security are discussed outside science, and what social scientists consider crucial when assessing food security. Under such conditions interdisciplinary research efforts remain often unsatisfactory, providing few or no solutions.
