Abstract
As a developing nation, Papua New Guinea (PNG) is heavily reliant on agriculture for its socio-economic growth and development. More than a decade of strong economic growth, resulting predominantly from natural resource exploration, has not improved the welfare of most Papua New Guineans and GDP per capita remains virtually unchanged since that at independence in 1975 (Pryke & Barker, 2017). Economic, social, environmental, and cultural development in PNG is complex as individuals have a dominant allegiance to, and trust in, sub-national groupings, notably clans or wantoks formed from over 800 distinctive local cultures and language groups (Hanson et al., 2001).
