Proudly present to you our Annual Report 2024, capturing our journey in driving sustainable agricultural innovation. Under the theme &#8220;Contributions to Global Food Sustainability,&#8221; we remained committed throughout the year to maximizing the untapped potential of suboptimal lands, redefining them as &#8220;land for future food&#8221; as part of our mission to ensure food security for humanity.
As we step into 2025, we are dedicated to scaling our impact by expanding research, fostering innovation, and strengthening partnerships to ensure that food security is not just a vision, but a reality for all.
To our partners, stakeholders, and communities, thank you for being part of this journey. We hope this report not only provides valuable insights but also inspires collective action toward a more resilient and sustainable food future.

Annual Report 2024: Contributions to Global Food Sustainability

Masa depan pangan dunia menghadapi tantangan yang semakin kompleks, mulai dari perubahan iklim, berkurangnya lahan subur, hingga meningkatnya kebutuhan pangan akibat pertumbuhan populasi. Di tengah tantangan tersebut, lahan basah hadir sebagai harapan baru. Dengan luas mencapai jutaan hektar di Indonesia, lahan basah menyimpan potensi luar biasa untuk mendukung ketahanan pangan sekaligus menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem.
Buku ini hadir untuk mengupas praktik-praktik pertanian berkelanjutan yang dilakukan di lahan basah, termasuk rawa dan gambut, sebagai solusi inovatif dalam mendukung ketahanan pangan nasional. Melalui kisah-kisah inspiratif dari petani lokal, buku ini tidak hanya memberikan panduan praktis, tetapi juga membuka wawasan tentang pentingnya lahan basah bagi masa depan pangan dan keberlanjutan lingkungan.

The study explores the role of social capital in promoting social sustainability within small-scale coconut plantations in Indragiri Hilir, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative approach, this preliminary research engaged 65 farmers and 15 middlemen through extensive in-depth interviews and group discussions. Spanning diverse rural landscapes across the coastal areas of Indragiri Hilir—including Pulau Burung, Kateman, Tanah Merah, Teluk Belengkong, Pelangiran, Tembilahan, Enok, Sungai Batang, and Reteh Districts, covering 15 villages—the study addresses specific challenges and opportunities for sustainable practices unique to each locality. Through a nuanced examination of bonding, bridging, and linking forms of social capital, the findings underscore the pivotal role of social capital in fostering social sustainability.
This encompasses aspects such as agricultural finance, supply chain dynamics, agricultural regeneration, and sustainable land management, facilitated by knowledge exchange, resource sharing, and collective action. The research highlights that the relationships among farmers, characterized as “bonding social capital,” constitute the fundamental basis for coconut ecosystem sustainability. However, addressing more complex challenges and meeting advanced needs requires expanding relationships beyond homogeneous groups of farmers. Therefore, fostering connections among actors at different levels and scales, represented by “bridging and linking social capital,” becomes crucial because vertical connections serve as a conduit to enhance bonding capital through interactions with external stakeholders.

Defining social sustainability through social capital in the small-scale coconut plantation ecosystem in Indragiri Hilir, Indonesia: A preliminary study

Di tengah pertumbuhan populasi dan perubahan iklim, dunia menghadapi tantangan besar untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pangan secara berkelanjutan. Pertanian intensif telah menguras kesuburan tanah, sementara cuaca ekstrem seringkali menghancurkan lahan yang tersedia.
Kini, keberlanjutan pangan atau food sustainability menjadi kunci: bagaimana kita menyediakan pangan cukup tanpa mengorbankan masa depan? Dengan pendekatan inovatif seperti pemanfaatan lahan suboptimal dan pengurangan limbah pangan, kita bisa menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem sekaligus memenuhi kebutuhan pangan di masa depan. Ketahanan pangan bukan hanya soal ketersediaan, tetapi juga tentang mewariskan bumi yang sehat bagi generasi mendatang.
