USP signs MOU with Tongan Institutions

The MOU will establish a collaborative relationship by and among MORDI, USP, and Nishi Trading where the three institutions can exchange information to seek and implement programmes and activities of mutual interest.

The institutions specifically agreed to collaborate in the field of Sustainable Agricultural Practices and Climate Change, focusing on food security related research.

It will also focus on the effects of climate change on root and tuber crops such as sweet potato and developing growth and nutrient models to predict its yield as affected by drought.
