Overview
About Edufarmers International Foundation
Edufarmers International Foundation is a non-profit organization with a vision to improve the four pillars of food security, namely the availability, sustainability, access, and utilization of food. Edufarmers focuses on two main areas: stunting reduction and agriculture development.
Our Impact
- Agriculture Program Initiatives: We empower smallholder farmers through research-driven training, technology adoption, and improved access to markets and resources.
- Conduct practical and scientific research in agriculture to find SOPs that can achieve optimum crop yield.
- Work with youth, local agriculture extension services, and farmers to learn and experiment together based on the FFS method (Farmers Field School) so farmers can adopt best practices, agri-inputs, and technologies to improve their productivity and income.
- Create agriculture contents and materials and disseminate them to wider audiences.
- Develop an agriculture ecosystem through a farmer support center called “Plaza Bertani” that can support farmers beyond the training by empowering farmers through the agriculture value chain (access to capital, agri-inputs, technologies, off takers) and generating revenue through professionally-run farming solution centers and farmer cooperatives.
- Stunting Reduction Program Initiatives: We implement community-based programs that focus on nutrition, education, and sustainable food production to combat childhood stunting.
- Develop stunting eradication programs through specific and sensitive interventions such as providing daily egg consumption for children under 5 years old and pregnant women, training for health extension services (kader posyandu), and developing community-led layer farming businesses at the village level to sustain egg production and consumption for the community.
- Create technology platforms for beneficiaries and program operators to make program operations more effective and efficient and for a wider audience that enables them to make donations, volunteer, and provide other contributions.
- Partner with various organizations to implement the program across Indonesia.
- Raise awareness and educate people about stunting and other related issues through websites and social media.
