Exploring sustainable land use pathways for ecosystems, food security and poverty alleviation: opportunities for Indonesia’s food estate programme
Our Objectives
We're co-developing land-use scenarios that integrate climate change adaptation, biodiversity conservation, farmer livelihoods, and broader food security needs through participatory research and training.
Our Approach
A focus on systems
We look at three contrasting case study sites in Indonesia:
-
Kalimantan
-
Gorontalo
-
South Papua
We will highlight the interrelationships between food estate land use change in these sites, and how this interacts with both ecosystem and livelihood transitions.
This approach allows us to highlight opportunities to more sustainably manage biodiversity, increase climate resilience, ad address livelihood and food security concerns.
Engagement and Impact
The LEAF Indonesia team shares its findings through academic and non-academic publications, workshops, and social media.
We present our research at conferences and seminars, and engage with stakeholders in workshops in Indonesia.
