Tuvalu, a low-lying island nation in the Pacific, is facing the threat of sea-level rise and land loss due to climate change. The small size of the country, which comprises only 26 square kilometers, limits its ability to expand agricultural production to counter an unbalanced diet. As a result, much of the food is imported and expensive, making it difficult for locals to access fresh produce. While the idea of a virtual-reality Tuvalu in the metaverse has been proposed, experts suggest that practical solutions grounded in reality are needed to address the island's pressing challenges.
