In our Knowledge Project, we are aiming to transfer the scientific information about agricultural diversification into the hands of farmers to facilitate the urgently needed Global Food Systems Transformation. We are working together with local partners and farmer communities producing for instance rice, cocoa, coffee, palm, and vanilla to understand how diversification can help their production and how to best mitigate climate impacts. All these workshops are conducted as UN Food System Summit Dialogues to facilitate outreach and significance for local partners.
In Indonesia, we are working together with the awesome people from EAST ID to run workshops in Sulawesi and Java with cocoa and rice farmers. Two weeks ago, we held our first workshop in Napu Valley, Sulawesi, which was now followed by the second workshop with rice farmers in Java. We cannot wait to see the results emerging from these two workshops to then channel our diversification work into the hands of farmers.
