Intervention for Climate (I4C): aGROWforests for Sustainable Spices in Indonesia

In a new partnership, Verstegen Spices & Sauces, Fairfood and PT CAN, together with Indonesian pepper farmers, are working on the adoption of agroforestry. Locally, a team was built of so-called change makers, who received agroforestry training and are now spreading the knowledge to the farmers. A demo plot, on which agroforestry has been practiced for a few years now, shows what’s possible, and what impact can be expected. The 3-year project targets 2.300 farmers (of which 30% women, 15% youth) in the provinces Bangka Belitung and Lampung in Indonesia.
