“…The survey design was deeply inspired by a wide survey conducted in 2011 covering all of New Caledonia 11 , 29 , 30 . As the aim was to understand the roles and links of agricultural, fishing, and hunting activities with food practices and diet, the observation unit was the household in order to focus on the traditional social organization and noncontractual family farming with a prevailing nonmarket dimension 24 .…”

“…The structure of the survey was based on the “sustainable rural livelihoods” 31 , 32 approach with a microeconomic perspective. The multi-thematic questionnaire used in this study was the questionnaire deployed in almost all tribes in New Caledonia in 2011 11 , 30 and made it possible to quantitatively measure the agricultural volumes produced by the tribal population in 2018, as well as the distribution of these volumes between self-consumption, daily gifts, ceremonial gifts, and market sales. The first goal of this survey, referenced as the 2019 dataset in this paper 28 , was to define the household composition (number of persons, education, land access and ownership, monetary incomes).…”

In the Melanesian culture, traditional activities are organized around family farming, although the lifestyle transition taking place over the last several decades has led to imbalances in diet and physical activity, with both leading to obesity. The aim of this interdisciplinary study was to understand the links between family farming (produced, exchanged, sold, and consumed food), diet (focused on produced, hunted, and caught food), physical activity (sedentary, light, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity) and obesity in Melanesian Lifou Island families (parents and children). Forty families, including 142 adults and children, completed individual food frequency questionnaires, wore tri-axial accelerometers for seven continuous days, and had weight and height measured with a bio-impedance device. A family farming questionnaire was conducted at the household level concerning family farming practices and sociodemographic variables. Multinomial regression analyses and logistic regression models were used to analyze the data. Results showed that family farming production brings a modest contribution to diet and active lifestyles for the family farmers of Lifou Island. The drivers for obesity in these tribal communities were linked to diet in the adults, whereas parental socioeconomic status and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity were the main factors associated to being overweight and obesity in children. These differences in lifestyle behaviors within families suggest a transition in cultural practices at the intergenerational level. Future directions should consider seasonality and a more in-depth analysis of diet including macro- and micro- nutrients to acquire more accurate information on the intergenerational transition in cultural practices and its consequences on health outcomes in the Pacific region.
