"Fairtrade International and Indonesian NGO Bina Desa are launching a four-year, €1 million (US$1.15 million) program to help smallholder farmers in Indonesia adapt to climate change, meet new sustainability regulations and improve incomes. DCN has confirmed that the project is focused on the coffee, cocoa, rice and sugar sectors on the islands of Java and Sulawesi. Funded by the European Union's Civil Society Organisations Thematic Programme, the project will run from November 2025 through October 2029, affecting more than 1,600 smallholder farmers, at least 30% of whom are women."
"Called "Transitioning Towards Green Resilience: Building Inclusive and Sustainable Agricultural Communities," the initiative is designed to provide training on climate-resilient and organic farming, gender equality and basic financial skills, according to Fairtrade International. The project will also help producer groups pursue organic certification and other strategies to reach higher-value markets. A second workstream focuses on farmer organizations, offering business development coaching, small sustainability grants and advocacy training. A third aims to build demand and policy support through consumer campaigns, producer-buyer matchmaking and dialogue with government agencies."
