Disease management is one of the key problems in industry success.

Check Iqbal Affandi’s journey to the Tallo sub-district in coastal Makassar where we see the powerful impact of our clean water project initiatives, Tametotto (a rain-harvesting method) and Terrawater (a water filter). The project was initiated by consortium Makassar Je’ne Tallasa: Celebes Green Project, Kopernik, and Terra Water Indonesia in 2021. Tametotto's success is inspiring more residents to adopt rainwater harvesting. Witnessing the local community accessing clean water amidst challenges highlights the importance of our work. Other than Tamettoto, we are glad to hear the news that our representative saw Terrawater’s installation in many spots like schools or small-medium food and beverage enterprises. However, these two initiatives still have many areas for improvement. Tametotto still uses manual pumping and heavy reliance on the weather, which can limit and slow the process of collecting water, and Terrawater filter takes a relatively long time to filter the water. Experiencing the profound benefits of clean water has motivated the local community to become more aware of its significance in daily life. However, some people are still skeptical and boil Terrawater filtered water before drinking it. This highlights the critical role of education and clear information, which our changemakers at the Celebes Green Project are diligently providing in the project. Further, we also found some encouraging news to share when we visited the local health center (Puskesmas). Recent tests indicate that the water quality remains safe for consumption. What's even more interesting is the data from the health center showing a remarkable improvement in public health. Over the past six months, there have been no reported cases of diarrhea—a stark contrast to the 1-2 cases per week we used to see. Moreover, we also discuss several topics around water access and quality with local governments, BIDANG ESDA BAPPEDA KOTA MAKASSAR, PDAM Kota Makassar, Kecamatan Tallo, and Kelurahan Tallo. With all that interesting news and areas to improve, we can’t wait for further collaborations to advance these initiatives. #WaterTreatment #WaterCrisis #CatalystChangemakersEcosystem #MakassarJeNeTallasa

🌱 Strengthening Indonesia's Agricultural Future 🌱 The agricultural sector is a cornerstone of Indonesia, significantly contributing to our economy and ensuring national #foodsecurity. Yet, this vital sector grapples with numerous challenges that demand integrated solutions from various stakeholders. At Eratani, we recognize that advancing the agricultural sector requires close collaboration between the government, private industry, and educational institutions. Recently, we had the honor of meeting with the Department of Agriculture and Food Security of Maros Regency to explore potential collaborations to enhance farmers' welfare and strengthen #agriculture in Indonesia. During our meeting with the Head of the Department of Agriculture and Food Security of Maros Regency and his team, we engaged in detailed discussions about the challenges faced by farmers in the Maros District. We focused on practical and sustainable solutions, such as improving access to modern agricultural #technology, addressing resource constraints, and overcoming distribution barriers. Through this productive meeting, we identified significant opportunities for collaboration that could lead to positive changes for farmers in Maros Regency and beyond. We aim to foster a more productive, sustainable, and prosperous agricultural environment. Eratani is excited about the progress made during our meeting with the Department of Agriculture and Food Security of Maros Regency. We are eager to build on this momentum and partner with various stakeholders. We can create a brighter agricultural future in Indonesia through strong collaboration and cooperation. 🤝 Let's join hands to build a strong and prosperous agricultural sector! 🌾 🔗https://lnkd.in/gvZ4A78q #Eratani #SelaluAdaUntukPetani #collaboration #agriculture #farmer

🤜🤛 Teamwork, creativity, and resilience can transform even the most unlikely spaces into flourishing gardens. 🌱 This is the story of Ratna Setiawati, a 67-year-old farmer from Depok, Indonesia. In 2022, Rikolto launched a project that motivated Ratna and other women to set up a women farmers’ organisation, Sejahtera. Together, they transformed a 400-square-meters piece of wasteland next to a highway into a fertile urban garden. 🌡️This comes with challenges: urban environments are generally several degrees warmer than surrounding rural areas, forming so-called heat islands. Urbanisation in Depok replaces green spaces with buildings that trap heat and block wind, raising temperatures and affecting urban agriculture. But… transforming wastelands into vegetable gardens has also already reduced the average temperature around these urban areas by 0.16°C. 👉 Curious to know more about Ratna, the women of Sejahtera and the urban heat islands initiative? Continue reading: https://lnkd.in/eg2AW_cH ♾️ Last week, we organised the Week for Good Food in Belgium. This was an occasion to spotlight the stories of good food champions like Ratna, who give their everything to make good food a right for everyone, everywhere.

Nutmeg, a precious spice from #Maluku, once occupied the throne of the champion of world trade. Its distinctive aroma lured European explorers, bringing the Banda Islands to the peak of their glory. But now its luster is fading. A study by #Solidaridad Indonesia under the TLGF-UNEP project shows that Maluku #nutmeg farmers face difficulties. Nutmeg is very valuable in the global market with significant production in Maluku. For more details, check out our simple info to find out the data on nutmeg in Maluku and the strategies that will be implemented to overcome it. Stay tuned to Solidaridad's journey in this TLGF-UNEP project!
