PT Frisian Flag Indonesia’s Post

At FrieslandCampina, the commitment is to empower dairy farmers and building resilient communities worldwide. One example is through Dairy Development. 🌍 Aligned with that, PT Frisian Flag Indonesia, together with our partners, has successfully completed the ten-year ‘Dairy4Development’ project in Pangalengan and Lembang, Indonesia. This project aimed to boost the local production of high-quality milk.   Over 3,500 local dairy farmers participated, marking a significant milestone in fostering economic growth and independence for dairy farmers in Indonesia. The project was supported by a grant of four million euros from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the Facility for Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Food Security (FDOV) grant programme, which is executed by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency: Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO). A big thank you to all partners for making this achievement possible. Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/g-5_8vfq #DairyDevelopment #ResilientCommunities #Sustainability

“Indonesia is one of the most populous countries in Asia. We have a stigma here that finishing the food on our plates is seen as rude. That’s why when people go to a restaurant, they don’t finish their meals to be polite and for others not to regard them as very hungry. So surplus comes. We have to educate the market that if you order something, you have to finish it because that's a way to appreciate your meal, and appreciate the farmers, and it can prevent you from contributing to the country’s food waste.” - Muhammad Agung Saputra, CEO & Founder of Surplus Indonesia Watch, listen or read the full insight at https://lnkd.in/gYQ36uHh Nonton, dengar atau baca wawasan lengkapnya di https://lnkd.in/gC82BP3c 观看、收听或阅读全文，请访问 https://lnkd.in/gp7WdYz8 #Indonesia #WasteManagement #FoodWasteCrisis #Sustainability #LandfillProblems #EnvironmentalAwareness #CircularEconomy #ClimateTechStartups #BRAVEpodcast

🎥 👉 Being a Water Stewardship Manager, I always cherish the opportunity to go on the ground as part of my job. Last year I had the privilege of interviewing Sukono, Ngationo, and Taufik – three Indonesian farmers. In 2016, Danone Water Indonesia and @Danone Ecosystem – along with other key partners - joined forces to safeguard the endangered Rejoso watershed, a vital water source for a population of 1.6 million people. We believe the success of this initiative lies on 3 key pillars:  🤝 1. Collaborative approach: Our approach begins with fostering collaboration, with communities at the core of our solutions. Water security requires collective action, and by working with local stakeholders, we are co-building relevant solutions.  👨🌾 2. Capability building: We have trained +270 farmers on sustainable practices. The training programs focus on water conservation practices, resource management, and water infrastructure maintenance to assist local communities in effectively managing their water resources.  🧾3. Financial incentives: The coalition has developed  a scheme to support farmers by offering payments for adopting and maintaining regenerative practices on their land. Funding for this scheme comes from private entities through collaboration with public entities. This approach is known as the  "Payment for Ecosystem Service”.  I invite you to watch the video and embark on an inspiring journey with them as they share their experiences and insights and to learn more about the program and its impact on the Rejoso Kita program! https://lnkd.in/g4syJFNm

Assurance procedures are carried out outside the framework of third-party certification, it also leads to cost reduction for farmers. PGS Rattan Lestari is made up of the National Council, the ROLEs Unit, the rattan farmer groups and rattan processors. In March and May, I participated in facilitating the certification process from farmer to company level. This process involves the final outcome of approving types of certification for farmers and businesses.
