Agriculture spread in Oceania primarily through the movement of Austronesian-speaking peoples from Southeast Asia around 3000 BCE. They introduced staple crops like taro, yam, and banana to the islands of Melanesia, Polynesia, and Micronesia, adapting farming techniques to diverse environments. This agricultural diffusion was facilitated by navigation skills and trade, allowing for the exchange of crops and agricultural knowledge across the vast oceanic region. Over time, these practices evolved, leading to unique agricultural systems suited to local conditions.
