Program Coordinator

About the Organization

In a world where over seven billion people live, nearly one billion go hungry every night. Access to food, a fundamental human right, is frequently neglected. With challenges like climate change, water scarcity, and complex land management, the urgency for food security has never been greater. The Tay Juhana Foundation (TJF) is dedicated to tackling these issues. Our team of committed professionals is focused on advancing sustainable agricultural practices across the suboptimal lands that constitute two-thirds of Indonesia’s surface area. This suboptimal land, integral to local agricultural traditions, holds untapped potential for food production.

As global uncertainties increase, the necessity for resilient and sustainable agricultural solutions becomes evident. We are seeking motivated individuals to join our team in Kuala Enok, Indragiri Hilir Regency, Riau Province, as the Program Coordinator. Join us in crafting a future where everyone has access to nutritious, sustainable food; you will play an important role in driving initiatives aimed at enhancing global food security. Apply today and help create lasting change for generations to come.

In technical terms, FOSTER is a research center with a dedicated 20-hectare plot of marine-clay ecosystem designated for agricultural research. FOSTER is in the early phase of development. The goal is to ensure local food security while creating a model for broader regional and national food resilience.
